I dont know how it is on the S14, but on the S13, you use the same plug for the A/C. Its just a single terminal plug.

so i dont have to worry about it over presurizing and blowing up or anything? just install everything, get belt tight, fill with r12(? or 134a??) and plug in the single a/c wire to the compressor and make sure that wire sees 12v when the a/c button is on??
