I’m wanting to put Vintage Air in my ‘87 LS Swap. Can this system be used with my stock compressor and condenser?

Which Vintage Air system are you going to use ?
I installed a complete kit in my wife's 69 Mustang. Was a good decision, all parts in the kit and everything fits, no fiddling stuff together and fabricating custom parts.
Pricey but worth my wife's $$$ :)

Best not to try an reuse an R12 condenser with 134. You need a parallel flow for it to cool at its best.

Are you trying to use the stock 87 compressor or the LS one? The stock compressor oil will have to be changed if it was still R12 but with the right hose adapter you could use it. A sanden will offer much better performance though.

I would just call them and ask. I got a sure fit kit but it has a big block instead of the 305. They swapped out the compressor brackets. LS is a common enough swap they will have it worked out.
