HH56: With a dual pulley groove arrangement like in the photo, are BOTH grooves being driven ONLY when the AC compressor clutch is engaged? or, does the dual pulley get driven all the time, and the clutch only disconnects or connects the compressor itself?

That is, when the compressor clutch is NOT engaging the compressor to run, is the alternator being driven by its belt or not?

Not a big deal if it IS being driven all the time, but less efficient.
