Jerry De Santis is on a distinguished road
A/c

My plane is equipped with the Riley air. Cond. The comp is installed off of the starter on the rear engine. On take off it should be off as it takes HP in operation, but I normal switch it on at about 500 feet agl and cools cockpit fairly quickly. I would suggest you investigate some of the newer A/C's that are all electric and can be used on ground and on take off. You may have to opt for the higher out put alternators.........not sure but somewhere in the 78 amp output range. They install them in 210's .
