Is it possible to run two AC compressors?

I have a 460. I am wanting to run AC and also a York 210 for on board air. Is it possible to run two compressors like this?

I only have an alternator and saginaw power steering pump so far.

Using an AC compressor like a York 210 as an Air compressor like you use to air up tires and use air tools.

You can use it if you have air locks in your axles, etc.

why not? the only limiting factor would be fabricating brackets and finding a proper length belt.

Yup, no problems running two, have to build custom brackets though, and packaging will be tight pending where you put it.
