Me too, I would like to design a set of brackets for mine to use the compressor that came with it.

thanks, after I finish the swap I will concentrate on the body and paint and ulpostery. Luckily it has very few rust spots. After a few sleep less nights I finally settled on Jetstream Blue Metallic PPG code 512Q, to compliment the paint color I plan on doing a 2 tone interior with blue and white.

That's an awesome color, and the two tone interior will look sweet!

Update, Im currently waiting on parts. Need the A/C compressor billet cover, spark plugs, air intake, intake filters, and thermostat housing. I will be replacing it with a CSR straight up and a 160' thermostat. Also waiting on my fuel rail covers. Trying to compliment the engine compartment with some blue wherever i can.

I love the finned look on those. That is sweet!

If you can get your hands on 5 wire relays on the cheap and would like to go that route, this is how to wire it up. the benefit of this method is when one wire is energized the other will remain ground, and vice versa. this means you only need 2 relays instead of 4.

No problem this is the Viper model 5901 for vehicles and it comes with two remotes one is like a pager so it vibrates and it displays different things, it has a onboard lithium-ion rechargeable battery with mini-USB for recharging

In remote start mode, if Active Temp Check is selected, Responder LC3 will display Temperature (in either Fahrenheit or Celsius) instead of the time (the default display). Now you can see the actual temperature inside the vehicle, before walking through the weather to get to it! If it isn’t warm enough inside your car yet, use Runtime Reset to extend your runtime. Don’t worry about forgetting about your car – Responder LC3 reminds you 3 minutes before your time runs out, with an audible tone, a vibration, and on the screen.

If anything happens to your vehicle, it notifies you right away if you are within range, playing the Revenger siren tones from inside your pocket. If anything has happened to your vehicle during your absence, LC3 spells out what happened Shock Sensor, hood open, door open for example.

Control Center – combines the Status LED and Valet Switch with the 2-way Antenna, making the switch easy to locate, and eliminating drilling of any holes in the dash

# of Remotes 1 Responder LC3 2-Way and 1 5-button 1-Way
Range Up to 1 Mile
Security Yes
Remote Start Yes
Keyless Entry Yes
SmartStart Compatible Yes
Encryption SuperCode™
Domelight Supervision Yes
Stinger DoubleGuard Shock Sensor Yes
Neo Revenger 6-Tone Siren Yes
Failsafe Starter Kill Yes
Anti-Carjacking (VRS) No
Guaranteed Protection Plan (GPP) Yes
Auxiliary Channels for Optional Functions 4
Remote Control Trunk Pop Yes

Auxiliary Channels for Optional Functions 4

Cool thing is that u can do pretty much anything with the auxiliary channels such as roll up roll down windows pop doors open if u have shaved door handles, control youre air bags pretty much anything you want.

I highly recommend this alarm system to anyone.
