Lookslike the ac clutch is out...siezed at a drive through and made the serpentine belt come off luckily it ran fine on battery sans power steering and I lived 1 mile away...

We all know you post a lot but that doesn't necessarily mean we have your details, specifically the year of your car, committed to memory. If you're asking for help basic info like that is essential.
There's about a dozen used or reman clutches on eBay.

I would only use a Denso compressor/clutch combo. Putting an aftermarket clutch on an OEM compressor will probably not work out so well.

Can't you find a good compressor that comes with a clutch? It'll probably be cheaper that way since most people don't part out the clutches since the compressors usually don't ever fail. My 97' had 300k when I sold it and still worked fine.
