I would appreciate that.

How can I verify the diagnosis as being either the clutch or the 
compressor.  How difficult should it be to turn the compressor shaft?  I've 
been unable to move it by hand, but I don't have a very good grip on it. 
 The clutch assembly does not look very healthy, but I can't tell if it's 
due to a frozen compressor.

Any suggestions would be graciously accepted.  This is my wife's car and 
it's hotter than heck here if you know what I mean.
