Trying to drive an AC compressor off the alternator slows it down so much that you won't get much cooling below highway speed. Use a 2 sheave harmonic balancer for a 250 six, and drive the compressor with the front crankshaft sheave. The balancer snout usually needs to be shortened about 1/4" to make the rear sheave line up with the water pump and the alternator. Machine the balancer OD seal surface back the same amount as you shorten the length.
