Has anyone swapped the clutches on an a/c compressor before? The clutch on the '94 T/A is bad and I have a good clutch and an unknown condition compressor from a parts car. I'm assuming you just pull the clutch off with a puller and then use a nut anmd the shaft to reinstall it? Job possible in car?

Thanks

Anyone?

Sounds like you already figured it out.

Ive figure it out only if thats what you do. The current clutch isn't engaging at all - is the elctro magnet on the compressor side or the clutch side?

Have you jumpered the low pressure switch?

Yes, you can change out the clutch ASM.

Can you just pull it off with a pulley puller, or does it unscrew? My LS1 compressor has a nut holding the clutch on, neither LT1 compressor does. It also appears to be keyed.

As far as jumping the low side switch, no, I haven't but thats not the problem. The cars bumps the idle, turns the fan on and sends a signal to the compressor. Its just dead electrically. I plugged in the spare compressor and the clutch engaged immediately, so its definetly an electrical problem with the clutch.
