Looking to do the same here in SC, but none of the installers I have found knows where to get the pulleys etc. I can't find any "one stop shopping" installers or dealers.

Check E bay they are listed from time to time. One thing to remember is the pre 70
engines have a 6 bolt crank pulley. Another source if you want fancy aluminum pulleys is Ram Air Restorations
or E bay seller CVN.
The only additional pulley required is the one bolted to the crank shaft.
The Ac compressor is driven directly from the crank shaft.
This link shows the Pontiac belt routing.

Good info, but in the case of my 66 with stock 093 heads, there's no bolt bosses on the side of the head to mount the comrpessor bracket. Have the threaded holes on the front only.

If you are looking at the link I posted above. I only posted that to show the belt routing.
Vintage Air redesigned the Pontiac - Sanden bracket. it bolts to the front head bolts so it can be used by both early and late heads.
Check this link to the redesigned bracket.

Don't forget to that on the early heads some of the factory brackets bolt on the side of the head by using a head bolt with a stud on top of it.. The bracket that goes behinde the compressor clutch & the rear of the compressor uses a head bolt with a stud. But that is on the factory set ups , I think when they use the little compressor only the head bolt behinde the compressor clutch is used in the instulation of that little compressor & then uses the holes in the front of the head for the rest of the mounting.

That statement is confusing.
The bracket bolts to the accessory bolts on the front of the head.
Check the link.
