Don't know much about a/c. I usually take car to professional in most a/c problems. However, money is tight and gas is expensive. I live in Las Vegas and regular is 3.18. Anyway, can you remove the clutch from the compressor without removing the refrigerant. Clutch is broken and I have not lost refrigerant, so that means compressor is ok right!!! Any opinions, suggestions and facts would be greatly appreciated.

The clutch can be removed without removing the refrigerant

This is true, but good luck finding a clutch!

I looked high and low, (even at hi-low ) and couldn't find a clutch for my reman compressor. The parts stores couldn't even order one. I ended up getting another reman compressor, so now I have a spare when it goes out that needs the clutch off of it.

I haven't looked for one, but it wouldn't surprise me if they sold it as an assembly, might as well rape you for parts

Many cars now are that way, no clutch available. I ought a rebuild and used the clutch and sold the compressor.

You will need a puller/installer tool.

I've got a 34k mile 'vette compressor for sale if you need one for a 'vette! It's an AC Delco OEM piece.

$80 shipped.

I bought it from a member, both of us under the impression it would fit on an f-body, but it won't.

wtf? They are both LS1s.

The mounting bracket's are a bit different, as is the orientation of where the lines screw in. They are rotated a bit from the f-body and the hard aluminum lines won't let you convince it into place even if you do get it bolted up somehow.

same problem here...my clutch is sounding bad, oriellys said i could replace the bearing. 20$ but the said i would have to recharge all the lines and stuff. so there is a way to get the clutch off without taking the compressor out?

I had the a/c clutch go out on my 95 3.4l camaro. My mechanic put a used a/c compressor on the car because I couldn't afford a new compressor at the time, but it still ended up costing over $200.
