I used the factory 5.3 compressor and also the factory evaporator from a 71 and it works fine. BUT it was a major PIA. In my case I can change the compressor by removing the radiator and shroud and pulling out the compressor thru the front. Just depends on your budget and time and what you want to do. It can be done but I prolly won't do it again :-)
