I am planning to switch over my belt drive pulleys to 8 groove pulleys for my supercharger setup but there doesn’t seem to be any options for a direct swap for the stock compressor.

Would I be able to use an ac clutch assembly off a 2000 ford lightning and put it on my compressor? They look similar/ have the same connection and are the same style. It is just bigger being a 5 1/8 pulley instead of a 4.5.

Or should I try to fit the lightning compressor on my engine? Has a different location where the ac lines mount and has 1 less mounting bolt.

If this doesn’t work, would anyone have any other ideas of how I could run an 8 rib on the ac compressor?
 
Even better, doing more research the ac compressor off a 2000 f250 7.3 has the 4 bolt mount and the compressor output in the rear of the unit like the 302 and in the description the mount distance is the same, not sure if itnwould fit exactly but it might fit as it is also the same style and looks very similar.
