Other than that pulleys perhaps? But that might take up a bunch of room.
Anyhow that's where I'm at.

I wouldn't bother with a pony for a 5 hp converter. Just capacitor start it.
Using a pony starts making sense when you get up into the large converter
range, to reduce starting surge, but for a little 5 hp, capacitor starting is
fine.
