      pretty sure you can use any compressor- you may have to make up custom a/c lines though

      I had the LT1 compressor and a Vintage Air kit on my Camaro, worked perfectly.

      The LS type are variable displacement compressors, the LT ones are Fixed. Sometimes the variable ones don't work "properly" with the VA setup. Give Frank at Prodigy a call and he can set you up with a kit without compressor (if that what you want). BTW, consider the GenIV surefit one over the other models if you get one.
