Why buy new when you can restore?
Finally got it today. 
First things first, there are DEFINITELY pieces missing. I'll try to explain some pieces I've noticed after some pics.
I hate getting packages like this; using two boxes taped together. There was more boxes used inside the boxes too (one for the inter-cooler and one for the tube from the air filter to the throttle body).
It would appear that this may be an early kit due to the absence of the axillary injectors. Instead there looks to be a vacuum hookup and something else. The pulley bracket looks to me that it is missing the second idler pulley. Right?
Looks like I'm gonna need a new gasket for between the TB and the inlet of the S/C. Also, the small tube that's coming off the S/C right after the TB, there isn't a part like it on the outlet of the S/C. So I'm guessing I'm missing that?
I have no idea what the metal fixture and the scratched-up tube is for.
Inter-cooler (looks to be an air-to-air) but I guess you could pump a massive amount of water through it. I'm not using it.
Why did Whipple include an EGT gauge with a supercharger?
Misc wiring
Aux fuel pump relay & wiring
Is this a heater bypass hose extension?
Anyways, the S/C looks to be in great shape, but I definitely need help finding parts (what I'm missing). There are several guys on another forum that have/had this in their trucks. I'll be asking them for quite a bit of help in figuring out and finding parts that I'm missing.
I'm excited, but the search continues for missing parts and other parts needed to get this thing in my truck!!!
EDIT: Well, I'm already missing 2 parts (1 I knew of already). One part for sure may be hard to find. I'll keep you guys posted.

, where are all the pieces/parts.
