ok , so I have the wrong switch , switch I got is the "leaver" type for the 79-81's . I need the rotary switch , which is apparently 4 speed , instead of 3 .
Apparently there is a ring that goes around the switch to indicate when it is a/c ?

anybody ?

Slacker,

You are correct. You need the rotary switch which is indeed 4 speed with a ring that actuates/adjusts the A/C.
Here is a picture of my factory A/C dash panel/switch:
