just a thought (A/C pump to P/S pump)

title says it all, i had a strange thought today when looking for replacement P/S pumps. "what if there was a compatible power steering pump that could mount to the A/C pump location?"
any thoughts on this?

One would think, with all of the dinky p/s pumps on cars today, that some durable alternative could be found!

i'm just wondering because i would like to remove the A/C system and i would also like to avoid the road side torch caused by the P/S pump overheating. it seemed natural to place a mechanical one in the a/c's place.
