Any experience with LMC AC Compressor Upgrade?

My A6 compressor is leaking and I'm looking at options. Does anyone have any experience with the LMC AC compresor upgrade? Is it as efficient as the newer aftermarket compressors as advertised? Does it fit all brackets and hoses as advertised? Does anyone know the name of the manufacturer?

Thanks in advance,

I have installed 3 or 4 of those on trucks. Great upgrade. weight a lot less. Will Make the air colder. I think it is a sanden unit made to go on truck brackets. I would not use a original type again after using one of these. You can get those in black also. They look better in my opinion. Let me know if you need to know anything else.

Just to clean up this thread in case anyone references it in the future:

The LMC compressor appears to be a PRO6TEN made by Old Air Products. I'll save quite a bit of money ordering directly from Old Air Products instead of LMC. Below I've linked the unit and an article describing the unit.
