A/C compressor

Hi all. Trying to keep a Camaro running in the UK! A/C compressor has a leak and I ordered a new one from the US but the pulley size is too small After hours of trying to pull it apart (no proper tools available in UK) I decided a smaller belt would fix that. I then noticed that the connector block doesn't fit. Both holes in the compressor are too big for my tubes. Can anyone tell me how many different sized holes there are or preferably any ideas for a quick fix?

Any help would be appreciated.

Let's start with the brand and part numbers on the compressor. Might find a connector block and put your hoses on the different block. About any hydraulic or implement shop can do this.

Hi tom3.
Thats the problem - there is no identification numbers on this compressor. It was ordered to replace a 1131743 compressor, but the pulley and connector block holes are different sizes. My thoughts are that they sent me the compressor for the original engine which is the 1134354 compressor. In the UK, Camaros are built from what can be found, and the engine was replaced from 5.0 to 5.7

I guess what I'm really trying to do is fix the connector block from the 1131743 to the 1134354
