Looking to add A/C to my 53.
Shop manual shows two belts around the compressor and generator.  Since I need another belt for the pwr steering pump, I'm assuming I'll need 3 groove crankshaft and water pump pulleys as well as a 2 groove generator pulley.
Is this correct?  Dosen't seem to be enough room for another belt...

Suspect 1953 thru 1962 are all similar.

That would be correct 3 groove pulley on the crankshaft and two for the generator water pump. I'm not sure if the same applies for the '53 but for the later years you also needed to extend the P/S â€" P/assist pump forward with extenders at the mounting bracket as the front groove was use for it.

Good luck..!
