AC pump mounted to drivers side:

Maybe to keep the car balanced out from left to rite. Note the V* sets about 3/4 inch closer to the right side of car anyway. Maybe also to keep belt tension as short as possible and allow for a alot of room for tensionaer pulley on the longer slack side of belt.

Usualyy if one must error on left-to-rite balance for the entire car then weight the drivers side more to keep it toward the crown of the road rather than over in the gutter on the rite side of the car.

Of course no one of those reasons are much evidence of why PMCC opted for the oem position of the pump.
