if you weren't using the compressor, why order the whole kit?
you could have ordered the pieces instead and saved a few bucks.

I did use their hot rod kit since no one made something for a 65 b-body at the time.
I also used the fully electronic box instead of the vacuum one.
had custom hoses made at a local shop using the parts supplied by classic. they basically gave me a bunch of ends and a length of hose.
was like 50 bucks from the shop to cut them and crimp. I drove the car there with the rest of the system installed and they measured and cut while I waited.
