I don't know about the connector thing, but I do know about the other stuff.

I highly suggest you get this: it will allow it to lockup without using a computer.

Also, you are going to have to hook up the TV cable. This is very important. It hooks up to the throttle lever and opens a valve in the tranny to increase pressure. It is vital to the tranny and dictates shift points.

You will need this: http://shop.store.yahoo.com/whitespi...i70coloki.html

It says you don't need a speed sensor. I imagine you will need a TV cable also, but am not sure if that kit takes care of it, not sure how it would though.

4 prong connector is for the TC lockup. It is done electronically and controlled by the computer. It is easy to rewire it to work off of a relay. There are kits from Painless or do a search and you will find a way to just assemble the parts yourself and do it very inexpensively.
