Cleaning up the A/C circuit

Successfully tested a different method of raising the idle when the A/C is turned on. This gets rid of the throttle opener and that rat's nest A/C solenoid.

All it does is use the idle richer circuit/solenoid, which is built into the drivers side of the carb, to raise the idle. Normally this circuit just richens the idle mixture but by opening it up a bit it can raise the idle speed as well. All that needs to be done then is to connect the solenoid positive wire to the A/C relay, so that it's triggered whenever the A/C is turned on.
