cant help you much on the o2 wire but for the a/c ...it is true that it will not come on if there is not any freon in it. If not you would lock it up.

The compressor would still cycle if the A/C switch was on even if there were no freon, the technology wasn't advanced enough back then to prevent that. Seems to me there is a problem with the magnetic clutch, either wiring or the fuse. Make sure the wiring is intact. Sometimes people unplug things.
