AC compressor turned to OBA

So I'm taking all the parts I need from my donor jeep to make my Cherokee 100% and I though of something. I want to stay cool in the jeep but I also want to have an air compressor. The AC compressor on the donor is in perfect working order. Would it be possible to install it as a second compressor and use that as the OBA? I know how to set up the OBA, I read a lot of guides on it. What I'm not sure is how I would work it with adding a second compressor to the belt. Anyone got any ideas? O ya and I'd be mounting the second compressor where the battery is normally.

Quite complex. No location to install another one and the belt routing and belt size will need to be modified. You are btter off buying an aftermarket air pump...
