Hi again Phil
If you have a diesel, i have seen Magnum air compressers running off the air belt and they sit where the power steer reservoir is now (it is repositioned further towards the passenger side) A longer air belt is then required.
Then there is the way i modified the 1fz.. i took the air cond pulley off and machined a datto waterpump pulley to slide on behind, making a double pulley. It is secured with 4 spot welds and a shrink fit. This is harder to do, but a better setup, having a individual belt.If you have room around that side of the motor, then your in luck. Go to the wreckers and look for a sigma or L300, or similar vintage mitsubishi with a Sanden air compresser. These are the ones that Endless Air use as a base compresser with a grease nipple in a side plug instead of oil in the gas.

I used to run a magnum on the 1HZ donk before I put the chevy in. Spot welded a second pulley to the aircon belt tension pulley & as mentioned repositioned the pwr steering reservoir further back on the air intake manifold. You only need a short vee belt to drive it. The top radiator hose setup will need modifying with an "S-Bend" hose to give clearance for the compressor pulley. Cheers.Have Wheels Will Travel
