Default accessory drive pulley

Has anyone added an additional accessory drive pulley off the crank or water pump for an engine driven accessory like an electric water pump, hydraulic pump, air compressor, 2nd alternator etc.? I don't run a clutch fan and the extra room has the wheels turning for better or worse. Thanks,

Id be worried about wearing out the waterpump bushings doing it that way.

Ive looked into adding a belt driven compressor. Its easy if you're giving up AC, but when keeping it theres not much room.

a D2 ace belt is about 20" longer, a good candidate for such projects.

Thanks Robert. I've thought about giving up the AC, and even the PS, but for now at least it stays. I too worry about the water pump but I'm not above modifying that either. Thanks for your input. Cheers,
