That's a good point. In my 59, the previous owner had installed an air conditioning unit. It's not working yet, but the compressor is hooked up under the hood and the hang on under the dash condensers right there. I'm hoping all I have to do is charge it with freon to get it going. Anyhow, if an alternator is a better option, then there's a good reason for swapping the gen for an alternator.
