Weird A/C problem in 2001 Viggen

Can someone please help me to diagnose the likely cause of an intermittent problem with the A/C in my Viggen?
The main symptom is that the ACC will blow cold and strong for the first 10 minutes of operation in hot weather. After that, however, it only blows strong and HOT - almost as if the ac compressor clutch is not engaging once the engine warms up. Could that be the case?
I hear no abnormal noises from the vicinity of the the compressor when it is engaged and running that might indicate imminent failure, although I'm not sure that a failed compressor clutch would be so obvious.
Car details - 2001 Viggen, 90,000 miles, ACC system that works fine other than the problem described above.
Thanks in advance for any pointers!
