I could be wrong but it would appear he is showing what a kit with new accessories looks like but is offering used accessories with his because a new compressor runs upwards of $150-175 for a good reman. unit.

At any rate, you'll also need an AC lineset which you can have made at any Napa store. There are parts I would suggest purchasing new such as water pump, idler and tensioner pulleys and AC compressor. You could get by with a used alt. and PS pump if they test out OK, but for the effort, why not go with NEW components?

However, if on a budget, $225 plus shipping for all used parts is a good deal since everything is ready pulled. I build a lot of specially optioned serpentine kits like a guided water pump pulley and a 140A specific LH alt. bracket as well as the correct water outlet that allows you to route the upper radiator hose behind the alternator (140A specific) and that comes with the lower rear alt. brace and hose rest. Its a cleaner appearance that running the hose through the middle. I also manufacture 140A adapter brackets for use with the standard 100A alt. brackets. There are a lot of options when it comes to GM serpentine kits.
