You got that right.

I have seen folks use the A/C compressors that don't have their own oil capability. Trick is to run a 'oil bath' intake filter, so some oil is drawn in with the air. Need to make sure the reservoir doesn't run empty though.

Yes, as already explained earlier in the thread, the idler pulley is in a different spot. I also posted details on how to get the correct belt if you want to remove the AC.
