Youdont realize how nice onboard air is until you have it. Why not try that?

I made up a OBA system and it is quite nice to have it you have some things sitting around. Heck i uses it to blow up our tow-behinds for the boat when I tow the boat with my Jeep. there are many uses for it.

there is a pully that came on some MJs that replaces the AC pully.
I know I had one with it a couple years ago, but may be rare to find in a junkyard.

Thanks for all the ideas,on board air can be a great add on.Several guys I wheel with have it on their rigs.Seems like they use the older York style compressor for oil reasons.For now I think I will go with Truggy's idea and reroute the belt and keep everything turning the right direction.I was just hoping to find a direct bolt in idler and use the same belt.Surely not all 4.0 jeeps had a/c.Thanks again for all the replies.

You could always make a mount for your Alt. where the AC comp is and then your alternator will be farther out of the water and dirt. but I am not sure if an idler pulley there or up top will be easier.

Found a thread on Pirate pertaining to moving the alternator to the a/c location,and another one pertaining to a/c delete.Both threads are in the Jeep/Cherokee section on page 17.The threads also have good pics.Sounds like a good idea to move the alternator up and away from the water and dirt.

yes, it is a good idea, or else get a front skid plate, or you'll be replacing the alt every couple trips out when you get in the deep stuff.
