vintage air pulley change Anyone changed the pulley on a vintage air comp? My lsx swap into a 67 camaro was going well till i realized the compressor was 2 v groove. I contacted vintage and they said I'd have to buy a new compressor???? One would think a setup for a lsx swap would have a serpintine pulley. I paid extra for the ls brackets, guess the 6 groove wasnt part of it. anyone????

One of the guys at vintage is a idiot.
I ordered a system told them exactly what I was doing he told me no problem. Got the stuff and the fittings would not even bolt on to the pump on the bench not a chance it was going to work in the car.
Figured out what I needed and called and asked to send the wrong fittings back in exchange for the correct ones. He told me I could not do that it was a kit and no subs could be made. Lol
He eventuly realized it was in his best interest to just swap them out. System works great don't have a complaints

Wow, I had a great experience with VA. They substituted the serpentine compressor, a trinary switch, and even refunded the price of the SBC compressor mount they took out of the kit.
Actually, my only complaint was their shipping charges were high on some small items. I ended up buying those at a local distributor.
