The power stearing load is there all the time and wont change alot when worked. I would think the sudden load of the clutch locking may not be good for the cam.

QUOTE(Brad Roberts @ Aug 29 2003, 10:22 PM) what about running it off one of the camshaft ala powersteering pump for 3.6 ?? that was always my first thought too - it's also how the factory powered the MFI pumps, the Sporto torque convertor oil pump, and the 930 turbo scavenge pump (which was the Sporto pump, in a new incarnation ...) Clay Perrine thought it was a really crappy idea, thought the 4-5 HP load would be bad for the cam drive. but i am unconvinced. (i'm also not going to be AC'ing my /6 any time soon, so it's all academic ... |

Is there any mileage in running an electric compressor away from the engine to do this?? The you "just" have to upgrade the alternator a bit.
Just a thought. Fiid. |

Brad,
I looked into the single serpentine belt but the company that made it discontinued it. They said the the special clutch pulley on the compressor got cost prohibitive. It looked like it would of worked. Steve |

It was an add in the October issue of Excellence.
SernaSport & EagleDay on page 164 It was called Wide Track Single-Belt Pulley kit. 1-800-658-8810 It used to be on there web site but they took it off. http://www.eagleday.com Does Clewitt carry it?? Steve |

I checked Clewetts web site.
It looks like they still carry the serpentine belt conversion. There usually at the German Auto Fest. I will see if I can get more info there. I'm curious if there crank pulley will work with a 911 non airconditioned cross bar motor mount. That's what my Rich Johnson mount is built on. Maybe I will give Clewett a call this week if I can find time. Thanks again for your help Brad. Steve |

He's in Manhattan Beach, got a shop in the back yard. You should cruise up and check it/him out. He's a nice guy with some cool toys!
