Not sure if I’ll find a duty cycle I’ll keep digging. I’ll link the video of the guy who did the conversion. I have found ALOT of people are using the Sanden SD7H15 compressor for on board air now that I’m down the rabbit hole.

There's so much room in the engine compartment of a 2nd Gen that hanging a York off to the side should be a simple affair (if you have a welder). I'd hang it to the side and drive it by v-belt with an aftermarket pulley, typically from the alt.
That said there's probably also enough height under the hood you could remove the factory compressor and stand a York in it's place. It can be a little difficult to find serp clutches for the Yorks but it's kinda cleaner if it's driven off your serp.

I located 6 groove clutch for York years ago, and found the code from my emails. MEI 5030. I'm not 100% certain it fits, but they seem to be plenty all over the interwebs.

Anybody remember the things you could get from JC Whittney where you put in place of a spark plug and the engine will compress the air? You could make one with a strong enough check valve. Mount a skinny air tank to the frame somewhere and you will have air any time you need it.

yeah I second that. That’s like I used to hear about guys running propane in the place of R12 for their A/C. Just the thought of that scares me

Well the one in the video doesn't do that it gets the air from the outside.
Same here, Disabling the AC just to have a compressor is not an option.
Remove the wire going to the injector, No flammable mixture.
I keep a small air compressor in the truck that's powered by the cigarette lighter or alligator clips on the battery.
Not sure about the wisdom of putting a compressed, flammable mixture into things like tires

My A/C didn’t work to begin with, here in NC it stays pretty mild through the summer. I have 4 sixty air if the need arises. This is also my farm truck so when I need to air anything up I think it will come in handy. I’m still gathering parts but as soon as everything gets here I’ll post back with you guys
