Sanden compressor plumbing

I'm building an LS1 1990 Camaro (though I don't think the engine matters in this case...)

I purchased a Sanden 508 compressor to use with the 3rd gen components. Can anyone tell me what hoses/adapters I'll need to hook it all up? I see other posts where people have mentioned using a different Sanden compressor.. Would something other than a 508 be a better choice?

I can offer more details if needed, but I'm having a hard time finding the info I need. I know it's out there. Thanks.

I'd probably be putting together something like the Original Air kit.

Re: Sanden compressor plumbing

What do you have besides the compressor? I think I still have a set of the adapter brackets if you want them.

I have a 508 compressor and a bracket (high mount - didn't want t notch the K member and there should be room) from ICT Billet. Engine is going in shortly (work is slow...) and once accessories go on, it's time for wiring and plumbing. just curious about mostly the refrigerant plumbing. I think the electrical I can figure out, even if I have to buy a connector and solder some wires.
