[V8] AC clutch

[Ingo Rautenberg]

Ed, you might find the price for a complete compressor with clutch  
assembly at just about the same price as a clutch alone.  Also, it  
may be that the problem with the clutch is that the compressor may  
have siezed? Or does it seem to be cooling fine otherwise?

Anyhow, those are my thoughts.
