Yes, you can use the original Honda block terminal connectors by carefully removing them with a small screwdriver, but they can be quite fiddly to release, you have to get that screwdriver in the exact spot on the back of the spade terminal to release it. I got all my terminals released except for one, it just would not come out, so in the end I cut the white terminal block off the connector instead. I used a R1 rectifier, but plenty have used the R6 version. You need the earlier version rectifier as in Beast's info below:-
