Default AC component location and install

Almost down with the everything swap. 2000 body with almost no components on it. Multiple components from donor 99-00. At this point I am ready to put in the rad/condenser, AC lines, drier, etc. In the 2000 I had a silver canister (drier), but the radiator I bought came with the condenser and AC lines/components connected already. The drier is black and the lines on top are slightly different than what was originally installed. Shouldn't matter though. I can see where the lines at the fire wall will connected, and Ive swapped the water pump?

So my questions are:

1) how are these lines routed? Theres quite a bit of hose.
2) The sensor on the pump for the AC system, what colored wire plug goes to it? I have a blue wired single plug I believe the black wires on the pump go to, and another 2 Pin plug using only one pin with a green/orange wire. However, the plug isn't reaching with the current wire routing.

The plug (connector) for the AC Compressor will be a one (1) pin connector. The connector for the High Pressure Switch will be a four (4) pin connector.


This is a pic of a '99 XJ compressor installation. The High Pressure Switch shown is different than the 2000/2001 switch but the location is the same.
