Adding AC to BN7 Healey

Hi,recently visited a well regarded restoration shop and saw the install of AC system on an MGB. The installer had ordered a dual Compressor pulley, and the original v belt now drove waterpump, Fan and compressor. The second pulley on the compressor drove the alternator. They stated that they had performed this Type installation before and that new rotary compressors had very little drag.it certainly would simplify AC installation if installing a dual crank pulley is not needed. Any opinions? Experience with such a setup? Planning on adding AC myself and need some comment/advise on this described method. Thanks Tony
