Actually there is a connection from the A/C compressor clutch wiring to
the fuel injection harness to let the ISCM know that the A/C compressor
is activated. You can see it on page 97.141 track 16 near the bottom of
the page.

The ISCM connection is to module pin 2/K on page 97.107, via harness pin
T1k between tracks 41 and 42. An error of omission exists in that this
connection is not more fully spelled out in the diagrams.
