AC compressor pressure switch connector

Does anyone know where to get an AC compressor pressure switch connector? Mine looks like an electrical hazard waiting to cause a problem with exposed wires, partially melted wiring coverings and a general "this needs to be replaced NOW" look to it. TPIparts.net sells the connector on top of the compressor, but not the one behind it for the pressure switch. I can probably find one at a junkyard(last resort) or a new harness(for one connector? not likely) but I'd like to find just the connector(with a bit of wiring attached of course). This would be for a 91 Trans AM. Any help locating a new one would be GREATLY appreciated as I'm trying to replace some of the old cracked, dryrotted, etc connectors and this is the worst of the lot.

Not that one, the one on the back of the compressor. The compressor has 2 plugs. one on top close to the clutch, the other on the rear with the pressure switch. I need a new plug for the one on the rear of the compressor.

I believe I located this part through rock auto. ac delco part pt131 seems to be it. Not labeled exactly as I'd expect it on the ac delco site, but the photo of the part matches the connector. The other connectors from tpiparts.net arrived too. Damn fine looking connectors, exactly what I'd expect to get as a factory replacement part from the dealer. I know my car will be a lot happier and safer with these new plugs installed. That compressor one is quite disturbing to look at with exposed wiring.
