I have upgraded my (EE80 2E engine) Point Distributor to HEI Magneto Distributor and A/C not working

I think there was some connection of A/C with the old distributor's coil -ve terminal. and as i have now not connected anything with new distributors -ve terminal, maybe that's why the A/C is not working. I need you to elaborate it. and how to connect the A/C wire to new HEI Magneto distributor?

i have the wiring diagram of A/C of my car, here the A/C amplifier pin # 5 is connected with Ignition Coil's -ve terminal, i am here uploading the snapshot...maybe that's why now the A/C is not working? As the new HEI Magneto Distributor is now connected with A/C amplifier pin #5. Kindly elaborate.

should i connect the previous coil's -ve terminal to the new HEI Magneto distributor black wire, coz it has only two wires on it, one is of +12V DC, and other is a black wire (maybe also used for tachometer but my car does not have RPM gauge), so maybe this black wire on new magneto HEI distributor is for A/C amplifier pin # 5 ?

this black wire you are pointing is going to igniter, and in my car the igniter was mounted on the coil.
