Let me just say the easiest way is to go with the 62 series a/c amp. It will cost you about $50 from Spector (that is if they have one in stock, part is no longer in production) and it's pretty much pull out the old one, clip the black wire on the vehicle harness end, plug in 62 series a/c amp, slide back into the a/c evaporator under the glove box, and then put the glove box back together. Simple and it works. Otherwise, good luck, your a/c button won't work without this simple fix, believe me, I know, I rigged up a cheap on/ off toggle switch to turn on the a/c comp. manually until Kevinmrowland told me the trick. Other than the 62 series a/c amp change out, everything in my set-up is the stock Toyota a/c parts (of course the longer lines too). Good luck. I highly recommend asking Kevinmrowland if you have a/c questions he's done it before and still doing it so he can explain the how and why things will or won't work. He may even chime in on your thread.

Don't know what GM engine seutp you have? I have the single belt setup that matches my 1999 engine, so you need a compressor with the clutch and pulley setup for the single belt.
Are you saying you are using a Toyota compressor? IF so I assume you have an old-school V-8 setup with V-belts? My Toyota compressor left when I sold the complete I-6 engine assembly.
For parts on my setup it looks like I need a custom hose that will mate the GM compressor with one line at the evaporator core and one line at the condensor. I will replace the dryer / receiver because I had the system open for a few days when I was removing the engine.
