Time for the Heat

So I narrowed my problems down to the heater. I've never had A/C working in this car in the two years I've owned it.

Trying to find the information I need and was looking at the 1994 circuit diagrams and other FSM pages. I own a 1995, but I understand that this should probably be the same system.

I'm not sure exactly how it works still, but I think there's a short or a ground out and it's causing the A/C compressor pulley to screech as well as dropping my voltage way down to ~8-9. I haven't messed with the heat since I got my alternator fixed, but I tested it out back then and know that most of my electrical problems over the late winter and early spring were due to something messing up with the heater.

Is there anything I should know before I begin fooling around with things?

If the AC isn't working, remove the belt and eliminate it from the possible cause. If the screech continues with the belt off the AC then it is the alternator belt slipping, which would cause a drop in the voltage it outputs.
