The pro6ten looks interesting - it's not the same as stock but it's a bolt-in, and if you painted it black and added the decals, would likely pass as original to most casual observers.

It has been important to me to keep the truck stock, but I think I'm up against a hard reality here with reman compressors and R-134. Am I correct that R-134 is a smaller molecule and will leak more easily than R-12?

The Pro6Ten seems to run around $425, but I found this unit on Amazon for $249, brand new GM A6:

Any downside to this cheaper unit? It's also free shipping which helps.
Can you use the original hoses that mount to the compressor with this one or do you need to change the metal part?
