Did the VW Beetle ever have a/c in the 60's? They were 6v up to the late 60's, that may be an option.

Another thing is, if an a/c clutch will operate on 7.5V, why not put in an 8V battery? If you're going to use a 6V alternator I'm sure it can be made to put out 8V. Then at least you'd still have the clutch function so you can shut it off and it will cycle as it's supposed to.
