A/C Sensor Part Number?
What is the part number for this sensor coming out of the further passenger side of the A/C compressor, right behind the belt tensioner. Looks like it's connected to the wiring in the second pic...

Its NOT a sensor, its the connection to the AC Compressor Clutch. 
The only way to replace the connector on the compressor is to replace the clutch electromagnet assembly and that requires removal of the pulley.
Looks like your lucky and only the female plug on the end of the harness is damaged. Get a new plug end from Gene Culley at GMPARTSHOUSE.COM. That will be the least cost. Then you can splice it on to the wires or solder the wires to the pins inside the connector. You can extract them if you release the small tab that secures them in the plastic connector body. That female connector will come off the male compressor connector!
Hope that helps. How did it get broken??
