Just wonder if there are any fan belt issues with use of a 55 or 63 amp 
alternator. The load is going to be considerably more and there must be a 
reason a/c Corvairs only got 47A alternators when most other GM cars of the 
period with A/C got 55s (and the Delco application guide shows only 37A for 
67-69, did they drop the 47 in later years?)

Reason a/c cars got bigger alternators was that the a/c clutch pulled 
nearly 10 amps by itself.
