Rock Auto price/part number differences? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

This may sound like a dumb question, but is there any catch here? I've ordered plenty of stuff from Rock Auto but I don't think I've ever ordered Delco stuff from them, I would normally use GM parts direct or another GM specific website. I am pricing out a complete accessory drive for a 2010 camaro and I am finding rock auto's prices to be almost oddly lower than every other major vendor to the point where I have to wonder if it is even an authentic Delco part, *or a refurbished part or something.*

I also noticed that with certain GM parts, Rock Auto lists different part numbers but don't cross reference the numbers from most GM websites I have seen. For example, most websites with GM diagrams show the AC compressor as being 23374617 and they seem to sell for about $220-230. Rock Auto lists the Delco part number for a 2010 Camaro 6.2 AC Compressor as being 1522274 and sells it for $175 but does not list the 23374617 number as one of the alternate/OE part numbers.*

Should I be worried, or just happy? Anyone know the reason for the part number discrepencies?
