There's also the option of using the secondary shaft on my traction 
motor to drive the AC compressor using a belt and pulleys, much as the 
ICE motor did.  I realize this has some drawbacks, but it would be 
cheaper and perhaps less trouble than adding a separate new compressor 
setup.  I wonder whether it might also draw less power from the battery 
pack.  What experience do folks have with this?  Thanks.
