Looked into it but as far as I can tell they all turn clockwise and we need a counter clockwise rotation.

What about a Vortech V9 G trim unit? It's in the $2k range for the head unit. We wouldn't need any jackshaft pulley. It would run directly off the pulley stacked on the power steering pump via a 6 rib belt. It seems to fit the RPM range of the blower listed on the vortech site with a 5" power steering pulley. I think size will be the limiting factor with this head unit. I'll see if I can find one at a shop near by just to test fit. With a $2k compressor that would probably push the price up past $3k after brackets, pullies, belts, piping, etc. With a curved outlet it would be possible to direct it over the top of the engine relatively easy and the stock coolant tank might even work as the compressor would sit closer to the engine without the jackshaft pulleys.
