A/C is such a great thing, and yet are so troublesome. I was just told that my car needs a new compressor, etc. :(
Ask them how the a/c clutch going out affected the water pump. They are both run off the serpentine belt, but they aren't exactly the same part. Ask them to show you, or put in writing that there was no damage to the water pump or to any radiator hoses.
If it's a turbo engine, I'd recommend that you have them replace both the lower and the upper idler pulleys. The lower one is right by the a/c compressor which will save some time. The upper one is a 10 minute job. The pulleys should be about $35 each.
Also, definitely have them replace the serpentine belt, no biggie, just put on a new one at the end of the job.
