Sure! I myself am going to try to find a way to use what parts came with the engine if I can.I'm not knocking their stuff, which is WAY less than a whole system like I have bought in the past.

I'm running the denso truck compressor with a modified bracket on an ls1. I had to move the bracket rearward 9/16" to line up with the fbody accessories, but was well worth the effort. the a/c blows at 35 degrees on a 102 degree day.
here is a video of when I finished mounting the bracket and placing the lines

I have to disagree with that statement.
The largest Sanden is the SD7H15 which is a 7 piston compressor with a displacement of 154.7cc/rev
The Denso 10S17 is a 10 piston compressor with a displacement of 188.0cc/rev
I don't know the exact pulley dimensions of either, but the Denso pulley is smaller which indicates in driven faster. Based on this, the Denso will provide a higher refrigeration capacity unless there is a significant difference in efficiency.

I have a 2005 GTO ls2 and would really like a compressor that fits the OE bracket but works with a VIntage Air evaporator. I don't like the idea of fixing the displacement of the OE compressor either.
