Default Accy drive and A/C compressor for 69 Firebird w/Restomod Air

Okay, so my built LS3 motor will be done this week and shipped out. I need to order a number of parts for the installation and of course this includes the front accessory drive and A/C bracket and compressor. I decided I don't want to spend the money for a billet front accessory drive and that the corvette setup is the way to go. I will be using an aftermarket Restomod Air Haymaker II, so I need to figure out which aftermarket bracket, etc. I will also need. I bought my unit before they came out with their "TruMod System" for my Firebird, so I don't have the full "kit".

I was looking at the corvette accessory drive (part #19257325), which I found a link to Pace Performance.

While going through the description, they have a link for an LS top mount A/C compressor package. It says it uses the "Sanden 508 style compressor for R-134A".

Has anyone used this A/C compressor package and is the Sanden 508 style compressor the one I want, or should I be looking for a different compressor option? I went with the larger Haymaker II unit to make sure I had COLD air blowing, especially if I decide to make a long road trip down south during the summer months.

Originally I was going to look at the Holley A/C brackets to use in conjunction with the C5/C6 accessory drive and try and figure which compressor would be my best option, as I know they offer brackets for a number of different compressors. I just don't know what the differences are for the compressors and which is the best option for my Restomod Air setup in a 69 Firebird? Obviously the high mount Atl and A/C is the easiest option as I don't want to have to notch my stock subframe, and I can't see paying the money they want for the aftermarket billet drives.

Is there anything else I should be taking into consideration beside the compressor?

Any input would be appreciated. thanks.
