Be aware that if the compressor bearings are going or something similar, that may be why the clutch is failing. If it is old enough to burn up a clutch, it may not be a bad idea replacing the whole thing. Mine was on a '94 F-150 with 85K miles or so and the compressor was the problem.

If you go that way, make sure you get a drier and O-Rings.
