My understanding is that the Vintage Air kits don't work well with the factory LS compressors. So to avoid any long term issues I went with the holley brackets to support an after market compressor. I ordered the 20-132 bracket kit $269.95, the 21-3 spacer kit (for a truck engine) $94.95, and the Vintage Air sure fit kit from Summit. I upgraded the compressor to an SD7 and the controls to a 3 knob streamline unit. With the upgrades the Vintage Air kit jumped to $1600. It can be done much cheaper, I just wanted mine to look and work a certain way. If you have any specific questions let me know and I'll try to answer them.
