I don't have your model, but a comment on the clutch.

Just removed clutch with compressor in car using AutZone free tool loan/rental.
Wanted to avoid empty and recharge also. Could not get to coil part of clutch
either.
Worse - Could not get a reliable source for the clutch at a price less than a whole compresor.

I contemplated buying the new compressor just to take off the clutch.
I still may do that.

Anyway - sounds like you are on your way to gettting this done.
