Default Difference between vortec kits 98-00 vs 01-02.. need some help please

I found a used vortec supercharger kit that I wanted to buy but after I got the part number (4GK218-060S) I found out it was listed as:

1998-'00 LS1 H.O. Kit with Aftercooler.

I called up vortech today and spoke to one of the techs and he said the differences are the coil brackets, inlet and outlet size for aftercooler, and the aftercooler itself. I asked if that "used" kit would fit my 2002 car and he said no I would need the kit with this part number (4GK218-080S).

Both kits are priced exactly the same but I wonder why he said the 98-00 s.c. would not fit on my car? Maybe he wanted to sell me a new product and earn my business instead? ..

anyway.. will that kit fit on my car? will I have to spend more $$ for upgrades to make it fit? can someone explain the differences between those 2 systems?

I was always more of a procharger fan and have no idea if this is the T trim, S trim, G trim ... etc

Im planning to slap that supercharger on top of my cam only setup and maybe invest in heads later. What size injectors would I need?

Any problems with belt slippage on this system? anything else I should know about?

needless to say, setup will be tuned and fuel system will be upgraded.

If you have any feedback on this system please let me know.

Thanks in advance.
