I did have a couple more questions after reading over the fitment guide that you probably have sorted out already. Did you have to change your power steering pump or were you able to make the truck one work? And are you running the compressor rpm cut off deal they have in their guide?

You do have to change the p/s pump to a '97 corvette unit, about $90 from your local parts store including the core (i didn't have one to turn in). The other p/s issue is the pressure line. The fitting is very close to the pulley requiring the use of a factory fitting versus the an style I used with the truck pump. Hart_Rod had a hose built using a hose end removed from a new '97 Corvette hose and it turned out great. I am sure he has posted a pic in his build thread, but if not I will post one as soon as mine is done. With regard for the RPM switch, I swapped to the SD7 compressor because it can handle higher RPM, more than the 5500 max rpm my engine will see so switch for me.
