I wouldn't have it run all the time. It's extra wear on the motor, extra load on the (too small) alternator, extra noise, etc.

If you just want it to run all the time just connect the two wires for the pressure switch. The fan will run anytime the key is on; no relay needed.

Who said anything about cutting wires? Just make a Y adapter for the plug on the compressor. Hmm, offhand I don't know what the connection for the clutch coil looks like.
