The main non-A/C parts from the
19155067 drive kit listed in
bold look about right, maybe they can delete the A/C compressor/bracket/belt or I'll just order them all individually.
Looking at what I think I need (items in bold), it comes to
$369.64 including shipping and handling, no alternator or power steering pump.
I can buy the power steering pump for a little less at a generic parts store ($96.99 + $40 core at AutoZone), but is it really worth it instead of buying the brand-new GM parts that may last a lot longer? All of the alternators I see online are priced higher than the ones from GM.
Looking cheaper just to buy the entire kit at this point, even if I can't use the A/C compressor and bracket.
I have already purchased the A/C bracket kit from KWiK Performance, I'll use it to mount the Sanden compressor that will come with the Vintage Air setup.
As a side note, I checked on the price of a starter motor for this beast. Part # 89017847 for a reman from GM, best price I've seen so far is from gmpartsdirect.com at $219.55 + $45.00 core, plus $41.17 S&H
for a total of
$305.72. Clearly they make up for their lower prices with added shipping costs, but they're still cheaper by at least $100 over anywhere else I've seen so far.
