The Holley/Dirty Dingo/Allan grove brackets are all designed for simple and somewhat cheaper installation using mostly factory components. You can piece it together and pick and choose whether you want AC or PS, kind of a modular design with an economical price.
Vintage Air/BS and March to a degree started building brackets for early year high end streetrods (20s/30s/40s) that required a compact design and some one-off components. They weren't made with economy of price in mind. You pretty much have to buy their whole kit and you can't just run down to the parts store to buy replacement parts.
Just my $.02,
