Hi, Recently visited a local restoration shop and saw AC install on an MG. What surprised me was that the single crank pulley was left in place and the new compressor had a dual pulley, so that the v belt that used to drive the generator( alternator in this case) drove the compressor. The second pulley on the compressor now powered the slightly relocated alternator. I watched this system run and it all seemed reliable. The shop told me that new rotary compressors require little effort and it eliminates the need to create/fabricate a dual pulley on the crank shaft. Any opinions? Advice? Experiences you can offer me. Not having to go the traditional dual pulley route would make the install of AC a simple process for me.
