Any advice on the better of these two options - or any other options out there.
1) Use an electric compressor from a large hybrid vehicle- like this one from a Cadillac Escalade hybrid:
✅ 2008-2013 GMC YUKON 6.0L V8 ELECTRIC HYBRID AIR CONDITIONING AC COMPRESSOR OEM | eBay
2) Use a regular compressor. Remove the clutch and power it with a 1/2 hp (375w) dc motor. The power that would normally go to the clutch would control the relay that turns the motor on.
I think the first option would be more complicated, because I'd have to hack the circuitry. Also, I think used compressors are notorious for being unreliable.
Appreciate any input...
Thanks everyone,
Greg
