I've got one on my Type 34. It works fine, although my Type 34 has been converted to 12-Volt. I'm always apprehensive, however. Every time I fool with anything in the area of the belts, I habitually have the mechanic try to tighten the "odd piece". So far, it has always been tight. The AC never did work right until I had one of those "odd pieces" installed. The belt always broke after about 50 miles, using a one-belt system. With the two-belt system, everything works famously. I hate to disagree with Jim Adney, but the "odd piece" arrangement is the only way to go, if you are running an AC.
