Re: PS Pulley as drive for AC Compressor?

Belt size kinda depends on your compressor but believe they are same width. Shouldn't be that hard to find components because I think most 53's & 54 seniors had the PS.

The bracket may present an issue with mounting the compressor. The pump bolted on with 2-3 bolts from front & I think shaft passed thru bracket and then pulley installed. IIRC there is also a part of bracket that sort of wrapped around lower pump body. In 54 they added the extra diagonal brace across top to head as shown in Erics picture.

Not thinking the Sanden clutch will allow the passing thru bracket to happen and the brace may interfere. If you do try it, would suggest looking for 54 bracket or at least making the brace. Early brackets had problems with flexing.
