Left Over Wiring Next to Trans and Starter from Engine/Trans Swap FC S5

I'm converting a 1989 rx7 automatic trans into a manual. I've also swapped the N/A engine with a turbo same year.

There are two white connectors by the transmission next to the starter that don't have mates. the wires to the connectors are yellow/red. the connectors don't fit together. there are also no other connectors in the area that would appear to fit. the reverse lights and the neutral safety switch are already plugged in as I swapped the drivers side wiring harness that has these connectors. neither connector belongs to the S terminal on the starter (that connector is black).

I believe these connectors come from the body of the car but that's a complete guess. Or perhaps one connector comes from the original wiring from the interior of the car and the other from the jdm harness I swapped in and that is why they don't fit. I have no clue.

Has anyone done this and knows what I'm talking about. Here is a pic of the connectors. Looking for any answers on what to do. Thanks.

The one with the slot out of the middle looks like it might be the oil pressure sending unit connector? Slips over the prong?

The other one looks like the condenser that smooths out the oil pressure guage. It is connected to a condenser that is grounded on the slave cylinder bolt. It is not a huge deal if its missing but it does help the gauge from varying too much.

Yeh and other one looks like pressure sender it slides on sideways to the sender. A little odd.

cool. I'll look for the oil pressure sending unit connector and see if this works.

funny thing, yesterday I was looking at the pics I took when I bought the engine and trans and noticed some strange wire near the slave cylinder

this will lead me in the right direction. thanks!

The other connector I don't believe is the oil pressure condensor. That should be a black square with a ground strap going through it. The ground strap here looks like the ground for the starter and maybe the white connector is for the oil fill level connected to the pan?

He was asking about the two white plugs. Not the ground. One of those plugs connects to the condenser which is about a 6 inch wire with the condenser on it attached to the slave cylinder.
