Re: K30 Downgrade to Cummins Project

Has anyone used one of these kits? How hard is it to swap the gear onto the Chevy pump? I'm fighting getting enough clearance by the motor mount on the driver side with the vacuum pump mounted power steering pump lines touching the mount. Also I have zero need for the vacuum pump unless I use stock squarebody AC components. Even those I'm not sure if they need vacuum or not.

haha, yeah its probably not practical but perhaps I could use the bigger later squarebody snorkel and air cleaner setup that runs towards pass fender Maybe it will just be for decoration or to do some other function, like house a under hood work light or wiper fluid or something
