[Shotimes] AC question

[Carl Prochilo]

Mike,  The easiest way to check if it's the clutch is to look at it when
you detect the AC is not working.  Shine a light in there or look when
it's sunny out.  Have a broom handle ready.  If you don't see the clutch
engaging every so often, that's your problem.  You can use the broom
handle to gently nudge the clutch.  You should be able to see it catch.

I haven't done this job yet to the 95 but I need to.  Supposedly it can be
done with the compressor in place.  You just need to figure out a way to
secure the clutch from spinning when you remove/install the bolt.
