Hello, It is a pleasure to get to assist you.
Sorry to hear you are having issues with you A/C system.
When you switch the car on does the pressures move?
Have you already verified that the compressor is getting power?
I do not have the wiring diagram for this car. But I'm certain I can help you get to the bottom of your issue. Thanks

The compressor is running. Can hear the engine slightly load when the ac button is pressed.
The Ford Fairlane uses the Oriface tube setup.

Hello, This is Keith from Just Answer.
I as assisting you the other day and was wondering if you still needed assistance?
If so, Can you tell me if the pressures fluctuate any when the compressor is turned on?
If they do not, The issue is likely the compressor is bad and needs to be replaced.
If they do, Then I agree with the orifice tube being the possible cause.
Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns on this issue.
Thank you
