Default a/c compressor wire connector

I had an early 90 or so a/c compressor and I replaced it with a new 96 compressor. Both are Denso compressors. The wire connector however is different on them. Does anyone know where I can get a 96 wire connector so I can connect my new a/c compressor? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks, Steve

Why again are you using a different compressor?

Is this a 'denso 10PA20 originally for a '96 C4? New, reman or used? A 'denso for a late C4 would/should have had the pigtail attached to the coil. The mating to that is a very simple and common connector. If it ain't a 10PA20 'denso you need to ID it for help. Actually I believe the mating connector is the same for all 'denso. I'd make sure I add a correct Diode also. I do believe some generic 'denso may only be supplied with 2 single wire leads.

I believe I can give you 'empty' shell part #'s if you wanted to fabricate.

What did you buy for a compressor?

you would think, but gm strikes again. while the id of the connectors are the same, 89 to 94 to 96, the od of the connector is different. the 89 is different from the 94 and 96 which leads me to believe the l98's are different from the lt1's. the top plate where the hoses connect are different between the l98 and lt1.
