Need help locating AC connection from Compressor V-6 1986 cougar

My 86 cougar has been in storage back in WI for several years. My brother and I are getting it ready to make the drive down to AZ where I now live. He's installed an 8.8 rear end with 411 gears, AOD tranny with Transgo shift kit, new drive shaft, rack and pinion and so on.

The last major work to be done is getting the AC system up and running. It was originally a V6 car, but the engine was swapped for an early 70's 302 carb engine. The serpentine setup was left behind and so was the AC. I bought an 86 t-bird parts car that had the all the AC stuff(compressor, lines ect). Thats all been installed but the problem is the wiring isn't exactly like the 86 t bird. On the bird the AC compressor line was routed from the passenger side, on the cougar however he hasn't found a connection on either side. So if theres an v-6 cougar owners I'm hoping you can offer some insight as to where the AC Comp. line is routed from- passenger side, drivers side, is there a plug in?

If you have any questions please ask, I tried to repeat the questions he had when we talked earlier.

i think the 87 v-6 may be the same. I'll see if I can make my way down to look at it, maybe with some pics.

thanks

anything v6 84-87 should give you the info your looking for. If I get a chance to look at my friend's 84 I'll let you know.
