hate to bring bad news, but just replacing a compressor/clutch isn't recommended, the junk in the lines will (can) just take out your new compressor.
We would be at $450 for labor with book time of 3.0 total for replace and evacuate and recharge with no parts or R134A. There is a reason the clutch failed either to much air gap/ which built up to much heat or the compressor froze up and the clutch could not hold anymore and literally fried or ripped it off. If the compressor came apart you need to flush the system and replace the desiccant and the orifice/filter tube. If the compressor did not come apart you could get away with just a evacuate and recharge. We will not put on just a clutch we do complete compressors and if you bring in your own part we will install it but warranty the install only not the part.

At a GM dealer we never replaced just the clutch. Chrysler, replaced just clutches all the time. We do on Fords too. No reoccurring issues. I sold a clutch replacement today.
