a/c compressor wires cut

ok, ill take a pic later today, but there are 3 wires going to the a/c compressor, and the all join into one plug. they are black, green, and i think another shade of green...

well, they are cut. anyone know where they are supposed to connect? and also, is it possible to take out the points in the fuse box so that something cant be used? ie...my freaking a/c-heat fuse?

Mine's like that too, so I'm not much help here. But does anyone know what the wires are for?

Here are wiring diagrams for '85 camaros:

Black is ground. Greens should maybe be connected together, one of them leading back to the ECM.
Notice that there were a diode inside the plug that was cut off. You really should obtain and incorporate this into your new plug setup to avoid problems. You can use anything from 1N4001 to 1N4007, or even the larger 1N5400 series.
