I contacted Hancock Industries (http://www.hancockindustries.com) and they do handle both clutches and whole compressors for Saabs. You must provide them with the model # that's on the compressor (sticker can be seen from the bottom) before they can quote the clutch. In my case, they didn't have the clutch on the shelf and had no cores. With core, it would have been 3 weeks. I bought a complete, remanufactured compressor w/ clutch for $249 because it was in stock (new unit for $561). 1 year warranty.
Another reason I bought the whole thing was the guy's concern that when the pulley is "wobbling", it can take out the nose of the compressor. Mine could be damaged and I wouldn't know until I got it apart so what the hell...
Question: Can I evacuate the system DIY? Hancock is in Texas and they say unless you're quick, the humidity will trash the desicant in the dryer. They suggest drawing a vaccuum and then doing the switch quickly. They mentioned AutoZone having "loaner" gauges for A/C...?
Anyway, this is a good source for A/C parts (I think) and $249 seems reasonable. Later, C.
