Awesome swap.  I'm gonna have to kick myself a little more for not doing this swap myself.  If you ever want to get your A/C back, check these brackets out.  They require a Sanden 508, SD5, or SD7 but look nice, are actually affordable (not like S&P brackets), and get the compressor up where it should be.

I liked it until I saw the engine...   Now I love it! ;D  I always thought those wheels go very well with these trucks.

Weird, I checked it after posting and it worked.  Let's try again.  Kwik performance inc.

Do you have crank-up windows or power? I'm guessing by the location of the speaker in the door, that you have manual windows.
