Well, I was happy with his helpfulness on correcting their mistake, but I can't say I'm super impressed by the parts for the price point. I ended up having to relocate the idler pulley in order to get the belt to clear the upper radiator hose. I don't see how it could possibly clear in the as-provided position, no matter which hose you use.
Since the last update I've painted and reinstalled the core support and grill support, along with a litany of small parts. The compressor is mounted, condenser is installed, lines are routed, etc. It might not look like much changed, but trust me, all these little items eat up time. Additionally, when working with all of these parts that are now in final paint, every move has to be fully thought out prior to execution. I really don't want to have to pull anything back off to re-spray.
The main things left to complete are heater hoses, wiring, install fenders, grill, bumper, associated small parts, and then paint the hood.
