Looking at the wiring diagram for a late and early Pantera, fuse 10 supplies power to just the ac condenser and ac clutch relay coils which are under the dash on the drivers side. The power to the ac condenser fan motor and the ac compressor clutch themselves is supplied by fuse #7. If everything is wired correctly, the problem is not with the compressor or ac condenser fan.
Fuse #10 also supplies power to the blower motor which is via the oblong switch. This is the evaporator / heater blower motor. Is this the switch you turn on that causes the fuse to blow?
Panteraplace is a great resource for electrical diagrams.

Nice work bdud!
It is always best to check Pantera Place before trouble shooting these machines. I was working on a nasty brake problem last year and was trying to find out how the proportioning valve worked. Had no clue where I could find something like that, so I Googled “Pantera brake proportioning valve” and there it was right on Pantera Place including pressure graphs and all. Totally amazing!!!
