Air conditioning in a C1 B6?

[lonejacklarry]

I am of the opinion that my truck would end up a lot quieter if I were to install air conditioning.  No, I'm not talking about road noise or wind noise here.

It appears that the bracketry would not be too complicated but the pulleys would be very complicated as I would need  pulleys with two grooves.  

Someone has probably done this and I would like to hear the scoop from him/her, please.  Failing that some good advice would work fine.

No one has put A/C on a 23" Dodge engine?

I'm sure it has been done, just maybe no members have.  Need to change to 12 volt , neg. ground. If your going to go engine driven have to come up with a pulley set up, probably a dual  crank pulley and figuring out which  side mount the compressor.  With the option of using an electric  compressor instead of engine drive, installation is even simpler. Probably need to update to a higher amperage alternator  but that looks like a good option for the vintage air kits.

Check in the car forums... I have seen a flathead with an air conditioning compressor mounted on it.

I've seen 2-3 cars and trucks with it done but never done it myself.

While browsing the classifieds today I saw this cool little under dash mount.

No idea if it could be made to work.

Thanks very much for the ideas!  It appears that I will have to sharpen my bracket making skills.

Check the car side I have it on my 53 plymouth w/ 6v.  I used a hot rod air unit that is no longer made. ..  hope nothing breaks...
