I not sure what year your 5k is.  Mine is a 84 and I just recently had
problems with the air.  I found the compressor price from $170 to $350.
Also, according to one shop it is a GM compressor and you can take it to a
good parts house that stocks GM compressors and match it up for around $70.
I did not do that on mine because the third shop I went to said my clutch
was fine all I needed was some freon.
