5.7 Swap AC Compressor Question

I actually have a 4th gen I'm rewiring to a 2002 ECU for a 2k13 engine. now it looks like the power steering hose reverted back to the same connector as the 4th gen so I was wondering if i could get by with the 7th gen accessories with maybe just a little connector rewiring for the alternator and ac compressor. Anybody have knowledge on this?

Also on the nisformance guide for the 5.7 swap it mentions cutting and nothing about a spacer but the kit they sell has a spacer for the idler pulley or maybe it was the alternator I didn't get why the kit has it but it's mentioned nowhere in the guide

I'm not sure about your alternator, but I purchased a DC Power Inc. 270 Amp unit that should be here any day. It comes with a harness connector that I'll be wiring up to the 2003 harness. My old 5th gen compressor only has one lead going to it, so I presume it is grounded internally. The 7th gen compressor, however, is a two lead compressor, so I'll be cutting the connector off, chassis grounding the negative and wiring up the positive with the 2003 harness connector. As far as the PS hose, I'm having a connection fabricated by a local hydraulics shop to accommodate the 2003 hose as the 2014 PS pump is not the same.

Not sure about the Nisformance guide. I bought the kit too but I only used the inverters. I'm not sure what the other parts are for, I never really looked at them.
