Default NEED HELP Ghetto rigging Air Conditioning

Yo dudes, I'm desperate to get my a/c working after my 2jz non-vvti swap. Everything is hooked up and wired correctly, but there's lack of communication between climate control computer and the ecu. I've been fine with no a/c for the most part. But yesterday, with 90 degree heat and down-pouring rain, I couldnt see **** out of my car due to fogged up windows.. Ive been told I could rig something up, but I've tried to do that with a previous car and failed. If anyone has any insight to do this somewhat right, any help is appreciated! Thanks!

fuses are fine.. this is common with the 147 swap in the 160s, the computers cant communicate with eachother, so I have to re-wire it. My stock fans are always on full blast, so it should work if I can get the compressor clutch to engage. And I already lost auto climate control because the outside air temp no longer works. But any a/c would be beyond awesome!

you can try crossing the wires of the switch on the high pressure line. Read this maybe it will work.
