Buy your kit minus clutch and fan - I am running electric fans COST?
Buy a reverse flow water pump for 88 Chevy 350 setup - $35
Figure out how to mount Vintage Air compressor on this unit - ??

Also, what kind of gadget do I need to find to use this alternator with my year of truck? Is there an aftermarket pigtail or something that you are aware of.

Appreciate the help here,

Rick
Rick,
25.00 less for the kit minus the fan and clutch.
Yes on the 88 up water pump. It reverse rotation, not flow.
I can't amagine that Vintage Air doesn't have a bracket kit to mount the pump in place of a R4 GM pump.
You would need the pig tail plug for the alt which is available from any GM dealer and probably other sources. It is a internally regulated alternator vers the 72 had a external regulator. It's my understanding that you can eliminate the wiring and regulator and run a single wire to the new alt. Many guys here have done this, you might tap them for some info.
Hope this helps. Tom
