That, unfortunately, is a rules question, and none of us know yet for sure.
However, the new PCM is pretty awesome and easy to use. It completely controls the compressor for you, with no coding needed - you just plug it and the pressure switch into the PCM and you're good to go. Additionally, you can control 8 solenoids (4 double solenoids) from each PCM, which would otherwise require 4 spike's - 1 PCM is smaller and lighter than 4 spikes.
While it's speculation at this point, I would assume that FIRST will require at least the compressor and pressure switch to be hooked up through the PCM.
