Initially, we encountered a setback with the double v belt pulley on the Sanden compressor, which was incompatible. Faced with a choice between spending $120 on a new serpentine pulley or a bit more for a new, ready-to-install compressor, I opted for the latter and purchased both a new compressor and drier from Summit.

It looks real scary but had some great help from the following   LT1swap.com and YouCandoit2 and Ugly Truck Experience         Getting all the wires labeled is the key. Note: you will have to use a heat gun or your wife's hair dryer to remove the transmission wiring plug as it is glued in from the factory. also needs heated to re-install      Here we are all removed and ready for the de-pinning [removal of unwanted wires]  The trick is to leave all the connectors on and follow lt1swap.com online color guide and 4 part Youtube series on this  Wire loom and tape removed from the harness.  The wiring getting pulled out of the two PCM plugs and rolled up for removal or relocation.  A large table or two are great to spread things out. I have videos from lt1swap.com and Youcandoit2 playing over and over, and over cross referenc...
