how much hp for a/c?
I'm cooking up a plan to run my ac compressor off of an electric motor so that I can relocate it to where the old air filter/battery used to be. I'm wondering how much hp the thing needs to be rated at to spin the a/c.? I figure between .5hp and 1.5hp apinning at about 1000rpm, does this sound right?

Re:how much hp for a/c?
what? they make all types of electric motors with different hp rating and speeds, I know one of them will spin the a/c fast enough, especially if it's connected directly to the shaft on the compressor. The fact that the a/c works while the car is idling meands that it obviously doesn't need to be spun very fast in order to work...

what do you mean hp for a/c? like how much hp you would get from removing a/c? or hp for a motor to drive the a/c system? if your talking about removing a/c to see power gains of some sort that would be kinda stupid. a/c is not always only works off the belt when u turn it on.
