OK, been researching the OBA thing for a while, and have come up with a few questions.
First off, a buddy of mine was given two york compressors and said I could have one. It has the v-belt clutch on it.
The standard mounting location seems to be on the passenger side, with relocating the battery to the driver's side using a diesel tray. This calls for a new alternator pully from Kilby. I understand this set up.
Here is my question though: Why doesn't anyone mount the York on the driver's side? I was thinking I could "piggyback" a v-belt pulley onto the power steering pump pulley, then mount the York into the freespace I have from taking out my stock air box and going with a Rusty's set up. This would require fabbing up a bracket to mount the York up, but it doesn't seem any worse or require any more work than getting it set up on the passenger side. Plus, the v-belt pulleys I was looking at on Summit, seem to have a larger diameter than the alternator pulley. I would think this would mean the pump would fill up the tank faster and work better at lower RPM's. It would also mean not having to move the battery or try and track down the diesel tray.
Does anyone see any major reasons why I couldn't get this to work? Am I missing something?
Does anyone know what the center bore is on the Power Steering pulley for a '99?
