Why don't you just replace the a/c clutch assembly. Parts
cost should be under $100. It can be change by removing the
RF wheel and inner fender liner. Remove the belt and go to
it. You do not need to remove the compressor or discharge
the system to do this. Have you not inquired as to the cost
of simply replacing the clutch. This job can be done in
about an hour once the car is secured on solid supports to
remove the wheel. You will need intermediate mechanical
ability and a few tools. Most of the clutches are pulled
using a bolt of the correct thread in the center. Follow
the instructions in the new part package to replace and
adjust.

BTW, this won't be any more trouble than installing an idler
pulley in the place of the compressor.

I have a 1994 Ford Taurus 3.8L V-6 GL Sedan. The bearing or clutch in the
a/c compressor pulley is going bad.

Since the car is old, I don't want to spend anymore fixing it than I have
too. I have been quoted $900 to replace the a/c compressor with another one.

I have priced an a/c bypass pulley for $35.00. How much should it cost
(labor) to have the a/c compressor pulled and the a/c bypass pulley
installed?
