Default Replacing OEM AC Compressor w/ GPD AC Compressor wiring question

The new GPD AC Compressor I bought has a square plug where as the OEM Compressor is a bit rounded at the edges. I've done some pretty extensive searching but I can't seem to find anything that identifies which wire has to be spliced with which and/ or if polarity makes a difference.

Does anyone know if I can just splice these up and hardwire the old plug onto the new any which way?

OEM Compressor has a Green and Yellow wire

New GPD Compressor has a black and black/ white wire

Thanks in a advance!

Black should be 12v+, black/white should be ground. I would check the source plug from the car to confirm polarity coming from the car and to make sure that is working. Also I would bench test the clutch to make sure the new compressor is solid before putting in the work to reassemble.

how did you get this!? Amazing. Thank you! I have a multimeter so I can test the harness in the car and maybe i’ll find some cables to bench test the new.

Appreciate you!
