Ryan, All vendors my be over $250.00 but since by the recent definition by
James Epsey of what a proper vendor is, then I'm a Delorean parts supplier.
I sell the new compressor for $219.95 with a new clutch or and if you want
just the clutch it's $59.95.

Thank you for your replies.

How difficult is "isn't easy"? I've been spraying the wd40 between the
pulley and the compressor. Any chance I'm hitting the bearing?

Bill: Thanks for the info on the compressors. I did not know they
could be found so cheaply. The last compressor I bought (for my Fiero)
was $400, and compressors from the vendors are all over $250. For
$100, I agree with you - might as well replace the whole thing.

You said "transfer your current back" - what's that mean? Are you
talking about the pulley? How difficult is that to do?

Thank you,

-Ryan
