1998 chevy s10 with 82000 miles. Hi my ac cools fine except that compressor clutch wont cycle. once its turned on it stays on. I was told it is probably the low pressure clutch switch but i have checked the entire system and cannot find it. Does it even have one?

You have what is called an A/C Compressor Pressure Cycling Switch located on the side of the accumulator. Looks like a fat silver cylinder. Get you a new switch, I suggest from the dealer, and unplug the old, screw it out, and screw in the new. It has a check valve, so you should not loose too much freeon.
