Default Vortech superchargers question...reverse rotational?

Thanks in advance for the help....i have a question.

i sold my mustang GT and bought my 1st Vette, an 03 Z06, about a year ago. my stang was totally built with a Vortech V1 S Trim Supercharger which is in my Garage right now.

my question concerns the head units. the mustang ones are reverse rotational with the inlet facing the front of the car and the pulley to the rear. this seems to be the same configuration as the Vettes setup.

so my question is can i just buy, say, an A&A bracket kit and reuse my old S Trim? this seems much cheaper as i already have 42 lb/hr injectors, a couple of pulleys, etc that may also work.

i really want a pos displacement blower, but im not buying another hood. any questions, comments would be appreciated.

The blower will work... you will need most of the kit though, even the supercharger pulley should be changed. You can purchase this setup to get you going...

i wouldnt go over 500hp with the 42 lb injectors. you will also need a boost a pump.
