PS Pulley as drive for AC Compressor?

Someone who sounds knowledgeable has told me that the easiest way to get engine power to drive an AC compressor so I can add AC to my '52 Packard 200 Deluxe, is to use a Packard power steering pulley and bracket. Since my Packard is manual steering, and I intend to leave it that way, this sounds interesting and potentially far easier and less costly than engineering a bracket and pulley for the compressor from scratch.

However, I can't find a photo of a Pakcard power steering bracket and pulley in place on a 51 to 54 Packard, so I can't picture how it would be done.

Can someone out there with a 51 to 54 Packard post a photo of the power steering pulley and bracket, mounted in place on the inline eight engine?
