I put Kirk's kit in my car. The install is relatively painless. You do need the rotary compressor. I had to purchase idler pullies from IPSCO. One to replace my original and a kit that allows tensioning of the Waterpump belt. Kirk said he had not run into this problem before but there's a reason Mark (IPSCO) makes them. Even with the tensioner pullies I still had to pull the crank and waterpump pullies to get the belts on, they're a tight fit. I also fabricated an adjustable tensioning bracket for the alternator. Kirk recommends this in the instructions but it is not necessary. I did the GM 12Si alternator conversion at the same time, Kirk helped with this too. Now that I think about it and spell it all out it was a fair amount of work but the result is awesome and if you didn't know you wouldn't know. You know!
