i am finally doin some work to my disco (roofrack side steps sill bars etc ) but while i am at it i want to fit my compressor i have made 1 up from a charade front and swash plate with magna piston assembly (nice small compact unit which has a good output) i know whereabouts i want to mount it but i need an extra pulley to dive it or have people done it diferently

you beat me to it i want to know this also... the only thing i have come up with is another pulley welded or bolted to the existing a/c unit and run a small belt

i have been trying to find a second hand ballancer to see if i can machine up a boss to run another belt from but nobody has one laying around and i dont want to buy one i dont want to goto the trouble of removing mine to find that i cant drill tap holes into it
**edit** i would be willing to make a second one if it is feasable

I have a 200 and want to do the same thing, as there is next to no room in the engine bay and no spear pulley I thought about mounting it next to the existing AC unit putting on a longer belt and run them in tandem. If I want to use he air ill just turn of the AC.

i dont have the room to run 1 next to the existing ac pump as the injector pump is directly below it

i have a 2" body lift so i think i have the room.... the key is running a separate belt off something else imo

I think this may have a write up on LR4x4, he ran two sandens side by side IIRC.
