The photos of the compressor mounted on the Y block look good, but I'm wondering if there is enough wrap on the generator pulley
You know something? After much ciphering, hawking and strategizing, I think the best way to go about it would be a three-belt system as used OEM.
That GEN (especially an ALT) is going to slip (or glaze the drive belt and/or pulley).
FORD did that 3-belt for a reason(s). And with the availability of a two-sheave outer pulley (appears to be quality), it would be a fairly easy install. While the THREE-SHEAVE DAMPER IS AVAILABLE (NOS) the price is way too much (unless again, a dedicated restoration).
I would also go with the SANDEN COMP unless a dedicated restoration using the OEM COMPRESSOR INSTALL.
