Daox, is there room to direct drive the pump if you have a physically smaller motor?

If the pump you have is overkill, would a smaller pump be better? (Whether it's direct drive or belt drive.) I'm thinking something like a garage door opener or a gate opener.

Can you source a new(ish) motor from a Toyota hybrid from maybe a JY for cheap?

Can you modify an electric A/C compressor to drive the water pump or even be the pump itself?

Just throwing ideas out, maybe something will stick...
