LS1 swap with AC?????

I'm doing the ls1 swap in my 88 iroc. Im trying to figure out what options I have to use AC. I have a UMI k member and I'm going to be using a kwik performance AC bracket. Can I see the 3rd gen hvac box, condenser, heater core, drier, etc. with the 4th gen compressor and get a hose shop to make custom lines? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Re: LS1 swap with AC?????

I did some a/c searches the other day. Someone with a 3rd gen condenser, and the Hawk's lines said their unit worked well.
Other places I have looked about a/c advise using a parallel flow condenser with r134a systems.
This is an interesting read on putting together a modern a/c system.
