Stock AC vs aftermarket AC - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

My 72 had factory air and now has an LS1 with f body accessories. I removed the compressor as it conflicts with the frame... now I'm at the point where I'm ready to look into AC. I understand that the stock variable compressor will not work. So it looks like I'll need a sanden compressor with the kwikperf mount.

The Vintage air kit looks great but it sure is spendy. I still have most of my original AC setup (condenser, evaporater, etc). Can any of this be re-used or do I need to go to an all new setup for R134?
