Do these kits require you get a tensioner ? I assumed a kit meant all the parts .... But not according to summitt ....

Mine came with everything needed. I see Summit says not included on some of their kits, but Vintage Air shows them included. Which part number are you looking for?

LS FrontRunner™ Drive System Includes:
• Main Truss Mounting Bracket • Tensioner Cover Kit • ATI Balancer • Crankshaft Pulley • Power Steering Bracket • Power Steering Pulley (If Power Steering System) • Hi-Perf Aluminum Water Pump • Water Pump Pulley • ARP Polished Stainless Hardware • Dayco Perf Serpentine Drive Belt • Sanden SD-7 Compressor with O-ring Adapter Blocks • Dayco OEM Tensioner • 140 Amp Alternator • Delphi-Saginaw Power Steering Pump with Integral Reservoir • Compressor Clutch Cover

Have you ordered it yet? According to VA that system you listed includes a tensioner. I'd guess Summit screwed up on the description, unless Summit is removing them or somehow ordering them special without tensioners (which wouldn't make any sense).
