Wink Re: Stock AC? or Vintage Air? That is the question!

I already have a VA compressor for it (which was in the truck with the stock system prior to the dismantle)

I called VA yesterday and they told me I would need a new compressor because the one I'm using now is V-groove pulley, and I would now require a serpentine belt pulley. They said they do not sell pulleys separately. How crappy is that!

Anyone have anymore photos of their VA AC system's, or LS swap?

Thanks,
I had to swap mine also. The bracket to relocate it is as much as the compressor to! I have the LQ4 out of a HD 2500. 305 torque at rear wheels and 280HP at the wheels.
Here is the old motor. You want be able to have it run by the computer either unless you modify the wiring harness.

Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.
