If the car having the AC added does not already have power steering, then the PS pulley setup could be made to work. If car has power steering, then AC drive would have to be shared with fan or PS or else have another groove on the pulley.

Factory AC pulleys were dual belt so had 2 smaller diameter grooves for AC outward of the PS and fan grooves. I don't have a good picture of the pulley but perhaps Walkerman or someone with air might post a picture of theirs.

Unlike 55-6 setups because of the different hub shape, I do not believe a second PS pulley can be added to the vibration damper assy on a 51-4.
