so here's what i'm doing. i called Cold Hose ( https://coldhose.com/) and talked to them. the woman who answered the phone like a secretary really knew her sh!t and helped me sort it out. i am using the stock condenser, a 97-98 accumulator (has different connections that are easier/cheaper to adapt to than 99+), stock orifice tube, the stock GM truck compressor on the LQ4 (down low, i cut the pass upper control arm mount off the axle for a stock 3-link), and the rest will be custom. coldhose has the hose ends and hose i need, along with the pressure switches.
bought the AC hose crimping tool since i'll need to do the '55 as well at least, and i plan to buy a full charge kit with vac pump.

and while this isn't quite scientific, it gets the basic idea across for wiring

I used coldhose for my parts as well, carquest also carries some AC type parts if you are in a bind and need a local source for some.
My hose crimper is a little different, its not hydraulic, and it works well for these:
