AC on 5.3 in 76 K-10-- Kwik? Holley? Sanden?

[roundhouse]

time to install the AC on our 76 K-10

5.3 is stock, from a '02 silverado.
dingo engine mounts.

have the stock evaporator from a '82 on the firewall

we, of course had to remove the stock 02 AC compressor because it hits the frame rail, and we didnt want to cut the frame.

Ive looked at the various websites of Holley , kwik, and Novak,
and its very confusing about what other parts I need to go along with the bracket.
do I use the stock tensioner?

it seems with the Holley kit you have to use Holleys tensioner, which long term seems like a bad idea, since no boneyard or auto parts store will have it, when it needs replacing,

the dirty dingo kit includes the tensioner and idler, so right now thats the direction Im leaning.
not sure which sanden to use, they list that its fits 4 different sanden models.
no idea which one I need.

what condensor are yall using?
dryer?

been driving it for about 18 months.
a stock 5.3 with 260K on it has easily twice the power of the old TBI 350 that was in it.
and the NV 3500 five speed from a 06 silverado is a blast to drive, even with 3.73 gears and 35' tires.

time to add AC for the summer.
