I have one friend who bought the kit from Bobby Byars.   It worked pretty 
well, BUT his car is a very early Euro pushbutton, and those cars used 
different fittings from the normal 1971-and-later Panteras so one of the hoses 
didn't fit.   But it was pretty easy to get it replaced with one that did.

For your car, it's pretty much a no-brainer; the kit is pretty much 
plug-and-play.   Although the optimum situation is to have the 
radiator/condensor/fan setup as a package.   Bobby sells the condensor as a stand-alone unit but 
then you have to affix it to the back of your radiator somehow.
