Thanks to everyone who responded. To be clear, I realize that running an AC compressor off of the alternator would be pointless and likely detrimental. My idea was to add a large lithium ion battery to the trunk to run the AC compressor off of and recharging the battery by plugging in when I get home.
That's a good idea to get a battery large enough to run the whole electrical system off of and doing an alternator delete, I didn't think of that. I have an Optima Yellowtop D34 battery and an alternator shutoff switch, so I have adequate capacity to do alternatorless driving for my normal routes. But if I got a large enough battery and an electric AC compressor I could remove the Optima battery as well as the alternator and the belt. Then my only accessory losses would be the oil pump and water pump.
