The question I have is whether anyone can recommend a good choice for a 
small 12V DC motor to drive the AC compressor.  What RPM range is good 
to use for that, etc?  I'm thinking of directly coupling that motor 
shaft to the compressor shaft, and may locate both in the small cargo 
area up front, to shorten the AC coolant lines (the heat exchanger is 
right in the front of the car).  Thanks!

Do we have a meeting place set for this month yet (maybe I missed it)?
