My credo
In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are different.
Better pictures would help. Where are these connectors in the engine bay? What color wires are in them? Do you know where any of the wires go? Are there any numbered labels on these connectors or near them on the wiring harness? With more info, somebody can look them up in the EVTM.

What's the worst that could happen?
Yes please...what ericebphoto said.
Just a wild-ass guess on the location, but maybe the left side engine compartment fender liner near the fuse box and starter relay.

There's three of them there, right beside the fuse box.
I thought about looking inside them for info but afraid they'll be brittle. Used 100 percent brightness to get them to show in the photo Two are to the left of center and one is to the right

Best I could do with a Windows XP and pocket camera
If you can download the wiring photo you can zoom in a bit farther

The big rectangular looks suspiciously like the connector between the body harness and the engine harness used in 94...
