To drive the A/C setup you are going to need at least the bolt on crank pulley. If you try to just drive it off the waterpump your going to kill the bearing in the waterpump.

Packard had bolt on piggyback pulleys for the crank and water pump for the power steering equipped cars which converts the crank and waterpump to a dual pulley setup. This is what I am using to drive the A/C on my 327. I will mount the compressor were the power steering pump would have mounted, which is above the generator (or alternator in my case).

If you look at my project blog I cover the installation of those bolt on pulleys.
