id at least use some electrical connectors.extend the wires and solder them on until you can get a connector.

It's a solenoid. What solenoid are you talking about, the VTEC solenoid? If that's the case, just keep below 5k RPM and you'll be fine. You don't have to have the VTEC solenoid wired up to drive around unless you're planning on flogging the engine as soon as you put it in.

I'd wait for a connector, the only way to hard wire it would be to solder wires right to the connector pins. You'd run the risk of damaging the solenoid, as well as possibly being unable to use a connector once you eventually got one. It probably won't be very waterproof either, and exposed electrical terminals aren't that great in an engine bay.
You're paying someone to do a swap for you, yet you're willing to let the guy do a hack job on it in the interest of time?

just get the conector or have him run the wires up to the solenoid so all you have to do is conect the wires to the conector.
