I'm adding air-conditioning to my 1964 230SL.  Here is what I have so far.
I'm told I will need a 3 Hole Cast Pulley ... does anyone have one? or a picture? or a part number?
What else do I need to get?
Photos would be great too!
Thanks for any help ...

I would strongly advise against it. 230SL crank shafts are not as strong as later cars and I've seen a few of them break off. Your car and your choice but I wouldn't do it if it was my car.
