I am getting ready to mount a York compressor (for onboard air) to a 300Tdi, which has serpentine belts.

I will make an angled bracket to bolt to the engine using the existing air compressor mount. The York will mount to the right hand side of the air-con compressor.

An idler pulley will be required on the new bracket, to achieve suitable belt wrap around the existing air con clutch.

To convert the vee belt pulley to v-ribbed pulley, I will machine the vee grooves from the York clutch pulley so that a v-rib pulley can be mounted to it by shrink fit. In my case I need a 6" dia 4PK v-rib pulley (a 5 or 6PK will also fit).

I will wire the clutches so that the air-con clutch de-energises when the York clutch is energised.

there are some Ford 302(5.0 liter) from the early 80's that had a serpentine belt york compressor pulley,I'm damn sure the pace car model Mustangs (1979 or 80) with 302's had 'em.I'd do some investigating before trying to make one.

Thanks, I'm in Australia and don't have as much choice as you guys, but I'll have a look see what the Ford wreckers have.

I found a 24V serpentine clutch for a York, and thought I could swap the coil, but they are too different.
