Plus & Minus of belt driven Compressor

I want to run a belt driven compressor. What are the pluses and minuses of a belt driven compressor? I want to keep my factory air and have a 4.3 V6 in fullsize truck. What's everybodies opinion?

They kick a**. The only downside I feel is checking the oil and the coalescing filter. I would never go back to electric comp. I would use hydros first.

i love mine and i made my setup from scratch and i still have stock ac even tho my evaporator is shot.

that right there is what everybody says,thats why im getting one as soon as i can too.everybody always says theyll never go back to an electric comp.

I was told that you can get a york compressor from Auto Zone and make the brakets for it. It is suppose to be the same compressor you get in kits from Suicidedoors, only cheaper and without the mounting brakets. Is this true?

sure is at www.bagginit.com he goes into detail about everything that has to be done....all u pay for when u buy the kit is knowledge, that i just gave u

yes and no, the air lift compressors that sd sells have a different type of piston but a regular york from napa or autozone will also work fine.

I just got mine running today and it KICKS ASS! it is so much faster than electric and much easier on the electrical system. I used my stock A/C compressor so we will see how long it holds out.
