Anyone using a serpentine belt set up on a high performance big block?

[FURYGT]

I want to add a/c to the Flyin' Whale with a modern type compressor. I just need the under hood a/c parts as it was a factory a/c car. Since the engine puts out 550 HP and has a red line of 7500 RPM my thought was to go with a serpentine belt set up so that throwing belts is not a problem at higher RPM's. Thanks in advance for any insight/input you can give me.

I had to change the water pump housing to the Mopar Performance Hemi water pump and housing to work with the aluminum radiator and electric fans. The serpentine drive system was @$4500 and the radiator and dual electric fans and controller was @$1800. The aluminum water pump and housing was about $300

I believe the initial kit was $3400 plus taxes and I added a bunch of stuff like a remote power steering reservoir, hose kits and some other stuff.

The Tru Trac system I have on my BB handles 7500 RPM's.

I have an old Sun tach that I temporarily wired up and ran 6500 on 3 runs.

It had a lot more in her but I need to upgrade the rear axle first.
