Chevrolet Cavalier Radio Problem

I bought the car used and rebuilt the motor. The car is a Chevy cavalier 1999 2.2 liter 4 cylinder. Two door, Manuel transmission.
The car has some bad electrical problems, first off it is slow to crank sometimes. Also the radio will shut off when I turn the air on or push note clutch, gas, or brakes. All the lights on the dash are always on. I just want my radio to work! It may be a bad ground somewhere, could I get a diagram of the ground wires? And what to check?
Thanks - Nathan 904-305-1928 (text)
