Is your engine in good condition or does it need a rebuild. If the engine is OK maybe it would be less expense and trouble to get the Bendtsen S-8 adapter and go with a GM 700R4 transmission rather than engineering and making all new brackets etc to mount a short 6 in place of the 8.

The adapter requires changing to a mini starter which needs 12v so that conversion would need to be done and would also work for your AC. A bracket would need to be fabricated for the compressor but Ross has done many of those already so he has a proven design. Adding the compressor and drive to your inline 8 is not as big a deal as it once was.
