An alternator would likely be a better bet than a generator. Setting at long winded stop lights or other similar situations with the AC on may be a problem with the flatheads. The AC compressor has a pretty good current draw and added to the evaporator fan, an application like this may put a strain on a 35-amp system. If a person adds an electric radiator fan, it just gets worse.
