Guys, we're getting close to finishing up Project Pancho Villa. I've ordered the last of the big parts, aluminum radiator, flex-a-lite fans, rear bumper, some new A/C components.

Here's where I can use some experienced advice. I've been reading through the forum this afternoon on A/C systems. Have seen some mentions of Sanden compressors.

Is there anything that is r134a compatible for our trucks and can use the stock ac lines? I have an NOS ac line set I picked up a few months ago.

When I look at the sanden 508 units on Ebay, it looks like in order to use, I'd need new custom hoses and unknown brackets.

Ideally, I'd like to find something chrome, something that can use the stock ac hoses, r134a and something I can get a decent billet bracket set for. Any advice?
