Default 10PA20C Compressor Clip doesn't match

This might be a stupid question, but what A/C compressor am I supposed to have on a 94 LS400? I purchased one that said it worked for 90-96 models, but after spending 2 days installing it, I found the sensor clip on the back (speed sensor?) does not match the old one and will not connect to wires currently in the car.

Can I just cut the wires and attach them directly? I would REALLY like to avoid replacing the whole thing.

Also, where is the accumulator/dryer? Edit: Found the accumulator/dryer/drier it is located under the passengers side headlights.

Well I figured it out. I installed an R-12 compressor into an R-13 system. I could not be more angry with myself (for not checking) and the seller for sending me the wrong part after I wrote 3 emails confirming an R-134a system. Hurray, I get to redo 6 hours worth of work.
