Are you over-volting this motor to give it more horsepower? Even with a reduction ratio of 3:1 I'm not sure 2 HP will provide enough oomph to pull the compressor, unless it is a fairly weenie one. I don't remember how old-school my A/C learnin' is, but I remember at the GM school an instructor saying that a compressor under full load can require as much as 20 horsepower...
...of course I haven't checked to see how successful other conversions have been at this, so the point may be moot...
