See pic in post #30 above. It's a slick idea but one potential problem. There is only ONE belt providing INITIAL driving power to BOTH AC pump AND alternator and maybe even water pump. No doubt the drive belt to the pump was originaly for generator. A LOT of load is placed on the belt by adding AC to it.

USUALY, the AC pumps are driven by ONE belt from the crank shaft. The alternator and water pump from a seperate belt.
