so you get to choose, buy a clutch and put it on, if it fixes it, done!
If not, then you need new compressor and you are out the $150.

bad clutches do not hold at higher rpm, or just do not hold at all.
you can start engine open hood, watch clutch front, turn on AC and see it
spin as it grabs on
If it is flaky it may stop holding,
