The pressure switches appear to almost never fail so I would not start there. Either all the refrigerant leaked out, or there is an electrical problem. The ac relay behind the glovebox will occasionally fail. You can try swapping it with one of the identical relays in that relay panel. Also, the anti-frost switch on top of the evaporator can give trouble.
Try jumping 12v directly to the compressor for a minute to see if it blows cold air. Don't run it that way longer than a minute or so if the air is not cold. If the air is cold, then it's an electrical problem. If not, the refrigerant is gone.
My guess is that the main seal on your rebuilt compressor failed. Either that or something in the high pressure side like a leak in the condensor or a bad o-ring.
