Replacing the clutch is fine unless the compressor being froze up is the reason the clutch got hot.

I agree.
I will add that seized clutches were a thing on the Cherokees and then a thing again on the Liberty during the Chrysler Jeep part of my life.  It was a common issue.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

I 2nd that, it is also really close in parts cost to do the compressor, having a shop pullit down and recharge is not alot either  :twocents:
To hunt and butcher an animal is to recognize that meat is not some abstract form of protein that springs into existence tightly wrapped in cellophane and styrofoam.

Thank you everyone for the info and comments. Really looking at getting it evacuated now and pulling the whole compressor, then installing a bypass pulley. I know I can remove the 3 bolts. But . Not sure I have the skill to do a clutch replacement or knowledge on if I can just do that without replacing the compressor.

I realize the defrost won't work as well but not looking at sinking more money into this rig ( just had a water pump and valve cover baskets done). Just want it driveable. Going to order the bypass  pulley and call around to see who will evac the compressor before I pull it out.

May install a new one later but for. Now just want to drive it.

Just did this on my dad's 08 ram. He bought a compressor kit on Amazon for $95. It's not charged, but the sound of the clutch grinding is gone. He plans to have it recharged before next summer.
