This is the compressor I got with my serpentine kit.

It did not come with any type of connector or pigtail, what do I need and where do I get it? My local OReilly store does not know what to order.

I purchased this adapter piece for the back but I am not sure the green seals are going to be enough to seal it. They look like they might but they are pretty small looking.

Thanks for any help!

The pigtail connector for the compressor should be readily available somewhere, I would have thought an auto supply would have it. Maybe someone will come up with an easy source.

You need to use a square seal on the manifold. They come in various thicknesses and are color coded. Again it should be an auto supply item. Unfortunately I don't know what colors you need. You can get an assortment but that's the expensive way. Those little square seals are more expensive than they look.

Rock Auto has the connectors and gaskets but the connectors vary from year to year so it's hard to tell what connector it uses. This one looks close but it may be keyed wrong. .... Link to A/C conector.

Really what that kit started out as was a stock serpentine belt drive for a Chevy truck from 93-95. Any GM dealer has access to looking up the connector by the shape but you would narrow it down a ton by looking for a 95 c/k 1500 350, 305 or even the 4.3 v6. The seals should be ordered to match for the same application.
