Who has put AC in their LT1 with vette accessories?

It's not a easy thing to search for but I'm looking for someone who has put AC into their thirdgen using Vette accessories. I'm looking for advice and pics. I'm assuming I need the Vette AC hose from the compressor and likely relocate the accumulator to in front of the condensor but how does the OEM vette hose fit to the consensor? Is it actually the right length?

I had stumbled across this earlier. Search for the "vette bracket" p/n from GM. You can pull up a few things

12550052 is the part number. No longer sold by GM unfortunately. eBay, maybe some other sources.

Another option that a couple guys have done is to put the original AC compressor in the F body alternator location.
