I'm pretty sure dual G-5's will not drive a KAP-150 autopilot. What about Dual gi-275's (AI and HSI)? When used with a GNS430w and GNC-355 navs, will they drive a KAP autopilot?

You have to be careful with Garmin's compatibility charts because it sometimes looks like G5s will drive attitude autopilots... there's a check mark in the box as "compatible"... But the fine print says that the G5s will provide a heading for the AP.  G5s won't provide the actual attitude source.  You need the GI-275s as @LANCECASPER says.

Make sure the installation shop you choose knows how to do the alignment to the KAP150.  The process is outlined in the Garmin IM for the GI275 when interfaced to the KAP/KFC 150 system.
