There is a pressostat switch on the low pressure line near the firewall. Pull the switch off, make sure the AC is "on" and the engine running. Then take a piece of wire and connect each end of the wire to the switch - making it on. That should start your compressor. If it does, then you may need a new switch.

If not, then take a broom handle and gently, and very carefully!, push on the clutch and see if it engages. If it engages, then you will need to close the clutch gap by moving bushings from the rear of the clutch to the front.

If not that, then check the electrical supply to the compressor and to the switch in the dash.
