The plug going into the A/C Compressor is falling apart. It won't stay plugged in and is cracked. Can you get those online anywhere or would that be strictly a junkyard type of situation?

you mean the wires you attach to the compressor are damaged, or the spades on the compressor?
if the wires are bad, you can cut off the old connector and use standard 1/4" female spade connectors on them.

Ditto, works like a charm.

I have this problem as well. It worked fine until one day the compressor wasn't kicking on. Upon inspection I noticed the belt was gone. Apparently, the compressor had been removed prior to my ownership and not properly shimmed, so it was very crooked. I pulled the compressor and shimmed it properly, bolted it down and went to attach the wires, but there was only a small mount of melted plastic for a connector on the compressor. Belt must have burned it up.
Can this connector be fixed without purchasing another compressor? I'm assuming the compressor has to come out.

Are you referring to the harness side or the compressor clutch coil side of the connector. If the latter, and the terminals are gone/too damaged, the coil will need replacement - at which time you may opt for another compressor.
