A bad idea. First, the alt will fail prematurely due to the increase in electrical load and second, the fan motor will burn out much sooner.

I dunno bout that, I live in South Fl. and run the A/C all the time. Fan is on all the time because of A/C being on and I havent had a problem in about 3 years.
