Default ok question for vtec solenoid

i'm doing a D15B7 block with a D16Y8 head. i just got everything for the swap but i'm lost with one thing.



i need to know what to do with the #1 and #2 plugs...like #1 has the plug on uit already but #2 only has the piece on the solenoid i don't have the part that plugs into it.

i know i have to wire then i was wonderin if i don't have the plugs that plus into them how am i suppose to do it? i mean i can splice the wires from #1 but the number 2 plug in in the soenoid so i can't really splice the wires on it.

your run a vtec wire from ecu to solenoid, also ground it, using the connectors.
run a wire from the pressure sensor, its cake man.

i know the pic sucks but i couldn't find a real one lol...will this work...

if i take the oil pressure sensor/switch and put audio clips on the two nipples inside the sensor/switch and run wire to them will it work? and just ground one and run the other? like this...



^i couldn't find any pics so i made one =) but you see what i mean? if i took the clip and put a wire in it and hooked it to the nipples in the sensor...would i work if i electric taped it so it wouldn't fall off? just for time being...
