Re: A/C big cam?
Yes, ALL the aftermarket kits use a smaller , low drag style compressor like "sanden 508".
The days of big clunky , horsepower robbing compressors has been gone for a while. use the search function on this forum , there are many informative write ups about A/C. Here is one of many links http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...ht=vintage+air Desert |

Lot cheaper to just install a solenoid that kicks the throttle linkage up a little bit when then a/c kicks on. I did that with my 383, works good.
