Re: Knomadd '71 SWB C-10

OK guys, I need some opinions. I'm going to be purchasing a Vintage Air unit sometime in the near future as I'll need the A/C for these unforgiving Texas summers. I obviously need to get some brackets for the new compressor, but I'm not sure where to get it from, or if it will work with my current setup. I don't know if any of my brackets are stock (pulleys are not) so even if I do buy a compressor bracket, i don't know if it will line up with the middle groove in the crank pulley or the other groove in the water pump pulley.

Here's where I need opinions: Should I try and piece together brackets for my current v-belt system until I figure out my ultimate plans for the engine (which could be several years from now) or do I bite the bullet and do a full pulley swap with a serpentine conversion kit from somewhere like March Performance, Billet Specialties, Zoops, or something like that?
