Full air-ride suspension: Swaybars..yes or no?

I am in the process of building a 3-link set up for the rear and converting my Camaro front clip to bags on my '55 truck.

I have alway been a fan of swaybars on heavy vehicles, and I would really like to have bars on the '55, but being a newbie to air suspensions, is a swaybar a good idea or does it not work well in an air-ride application? I could see it working OK in the rear because the suspension is fixed at both wheels due to the rear axle housing, but it's the front that makes me curious.

I would prefer to go with a splined bar with bolt-on arms because I like the way they look and I can order the bar length I need. I need to make my decision soon because I need to determine where to mount the bar before I possibly take up that space with compressors and tanks.
