Engine Driven On a Ranger

I am wondering, I know I haven't seen any kits for a ranger. But my question is what is the major problem of why there isn't an engine driven compressor kit on a ranger? Is it just that the brackets need to be fabricated or is it that there is something in the way? No space? Someone enlighten me and let me know why there is no engine driven compressor kits for rangers that way I can get one made.

theres no real convient place to put it unless you get rid of your A/C, as for why nobody makes one thats because the S10 is the GOD of minitruckin aftermarket but hey at least we dont have the poor aftermarket like the dakota.
If your willing to ditch your A/C you can make one with your stock pump just need a tool oiler and a check valve.

OK, so really what your saying is there is no where to mount it right now unless you get rid of your A/C. Is this something that you guys would be interested in?

A way to run a engine driven with A/C?
