Re: Local Houston TX, if you going to swap
BTW, these are prototype pieces that will be soon available like mine or with power steering, using the OE alternator and PS pump makes life allot easier. Not to mention using the WAY easier to find truck water pump and lower pulley.

Re: Local Houston TX, if you going to swap
If you use the truck AC compressor that is actually smaller than the car compressor, yes, as long as there is room for it by the K member. This whole kit is oriented around the truck accessories that are WAY easier to find. Instead of finding a LS1, you can now get a 4.8/5.3/6.o from a truck and not have to worry about finding the F body accessories, and you can re use the stock alternator and power steering pump.

Re: Local Houston TX, if you going to swap
Nice! I didn't know the truck compressor would fit with the stock K member in the car, I was under the impression it was either 300 dollars for a billet braket to retain the stock one, or 400+ for a k-member to use the 4th gen stuff.

Re: Local Houston TX, if you going to swap
No, there is a kit that you use to cut out the spot where it hits and weld it in on the stock K member, think someone said it might fit with the Spohn motor mounts too.

Re: Local Houston TX, if you going to swap
designed to work with truck ac compressor if ur kmember area will allow. uses stock truck bracket, tensioner and belt. fittings and lines are mostly gonna have to be custom. but the actual compressor and bracket are gm parts.

Re: Local Houston TX, if you going to swap
Well, i was going to use the stock flange on the manifold and weld to that(where the stock exhaust pipe is). Actually use the pipe that comes on the manifold.
