Looks like it will fit perfectly with no cutting. Question is concerning the factory truck compressor. I think they are variable displacement. Have read that this may not be compatible with Vintage Air. Truck pulley is 4-rib. Vintage air only lists an 8-rib option. Might work with a 4-rib? One guy said he used this Denso compressor: https://www.amazon.com/Denso-471-918.../dp/B000C5UHOM Anyone have this already figured out? |
I can't confirm this, but I read somewhere that the early truck compressors are static displacement and would work with Vintage Air setups? Like a 1999 and maybe 2000. I have only searched this topic because I have considered an LS swap for my car and thought maybe that would be an added bonus on cost savings if I could use an existing compressor I have.
