I think I've narrowed my issue with the AC as a defective AC compressor clutch.

Here's my questions

1. can I buy just the AC compressor clutch itself or do I have to purchase an entirely new AC compressor system?
2. which brand?
3. where do I purchase?
4. easy fix? recommended video perhaps?

Any help would be immensely appreciated.

I had the issue where my AC Compressor clutch would engage and disengage constantly.

I removed a shim and resurfaced the rusty compressor clutch and it has been working well for quite some time now.

I do believe they sell new clutches as well, like this one

Here is what the clutch assembly looks like

So you think just a simple shim removal should get it to engage? Did you have to take off the radiator shroud to get to it?

I think i was able to remove the clutch without removing the fan shroud, but I did remove the belt.

You need an AC Compressor Clutch removal tool though, got mine for about $10 on eBay
