      I second Vintage Air. But I'm going with a March pulley system simply because I already have a new standard rotation long style water pump and 140amp alt.

      I'd have to say Wegner Motorsports. Here's a thread that shows their new diamond cut kit: https://www.pro-touring.com/showthre...y-drive-system If you check out my build thread, I also have the diamond cut kit but they did it for me in a polished version. The big advantage with the Wegner kits are the belt wrap around the power steering pulley. If you look at the Vintage Air kits, the belt touches the power steering pulley for about 1/4 of the pulley. With the Wegner kits, the belt wrap touches about 3/4 of the pulley meaning way less slipping, especially good for running wider tires. The Wegner kit is priced around the same as the Vintage Air kit. I was going to get the Vintage Air kit until I saw the Wegner ones.

      Vintage Air for the AC for sure.

      Pulley system? Depends on what you have already. If nothing, I like the Vintage Air Front Runner. I get the belt wrap thing but I haven't seen or heard of an issue with the Front Runner belt slipping.

      Vintage air. Some others may work as well...none work better.

      I haven't worked with any of the other companies, but my Vintage Air system in my Camaro works great!

      For pulleys/brackets, I have always gone with March Performance, but prefer the two belt systems over the single serpentine. Have one installed on a 70 Big Block Chevelle, a 66 Big Block El Camino, and a 69 Small Block Camaro. Never had any problems!

      I have to jump on the VA bandwagon. I am very very satisfied

      I had a vintage air in my 57 Chevy truck and it was a great system.
