Default 88 no ac after heater core replacement.

i was able to replace the bad heater core without unhooking the ac lines, was a PITA, but i got it installed and everything put back in place But now my ac clutch wont engage. i tried jumping the low pressure switch and nothing happened. as of now it is pouring rain so i can't mess with it till the rain clears up.

what should i check for? fuse, relay, anything under/or behind the dash that might have accidentally been unhooked? i had the ac converted and recharged just a few month ago and they added a green dye. i did not see, hear, or smell any leaks during the heater core job.

Thanks for any help.
