Default Disco I - replacing AC compressor

The clutch or pulley off the AC compressor is making a bad noise and need to be replaced. How hard is it to swap out the AC compressor? No way to just put on a new clutch and pulley i figure?

PS . if anyone selling a good AC compressor for Disco I ( 1998 ) let me know, thanks!!

Call will tillery or paul grant. Roverland parts has them for $125. You will need a vacuum pump like this cheapie (requires an air compressor) to evacuate your lines:

Do it the correct way.
For $100 you can have a shop suck out all of your R-134, you then take the truck home and replace the A/C compressor.
Take the truck back and they will refill it for you, all for $100.
DO NOT release the R-134 to atmosphere.
