Looks like it would power the air conditioning unit if it had one.

But it hasn't. I was quite shocked when i noticed it. Made the grey matter think a bit.

Mine only had a single pulley. There was a Suzuki aftermarket A/C system, has it got any 'spare' switches?

I know the Hilux boys go after double pullies like these to fit to their engines when they want to run a supercharger. They're originally (in the case of Hilux's) for the aircon compressor.
Perhaps the engine you have there wasn't originally out of an SJ? It could've been in a car (swift/ignis/vitara/whatever) that had aircon?
EDIT: Wait, is this the G16 engine you've just swapped into one of your SJ's you're showing to us?

Ah, ok. I was getting confussilated.
Still, there were a few Vitara's out there with 1.3's - maybe this is out of one that had aircon. Who really knows what happened to a vehicle before buying it?

There were a few Sidekicks in the US in 89 but I've never heard of a 1.3 Vitara.
I like the supercharger idea though.
