Throwing snow is a little bit like baling hay. The load on the implement is variable. You need an IPTO so that you can "inch" the tractor forward while the blower is gulping down a snowbank or drift. Side mounted belt pullys de-clutch with the engine clutch. Not a good arrangement.
Live OEM hydraulic power will work under light conditions. Most tractor hydraulic systems are not capable of delivering enough power to be effective for snow blowing. If you drive a high capacity pump with a LPTO it could be done but very expensive. If it is not engineered right, it will be even more expensive. All the components have to be selected using hydraulic engineering principles. If you are asking this question, I don't think you are ready to design a system. I couldn't either because I don't know what the power requirement is for any available blower under all conditions. A satisfactory solution may only be possible with field testing.
