The more I investigate, the more confused I get about the A/C clutch.  On Shonut, it references the following parts:  A/C clutch disc, A/C clutch pulley, A/C clutch coil, as well as a rebuilt disc/pulley/coil.  On CarParts.com, they show a "clutch assembly" as well as an "A/C bearing".  Can anyone shed some light on these various parts (like, is the "clutch assembly" the same as "rebuilt disc/pulley/coil, what exactly is the "A/C bearing)?  I've temporarily fixed my A/C by removing a shim from the clutch, but I know it's only very temporary and I want to get whatever I need to fix it right (it's VERY hot here in CA).  Also, is there anywhere else to get what I need for the best price/quality?

Thanks.
