If it is an older unit and the compressor is gone, it is better to replace the unit and your thermostat. You will see improved operation and lower electric costs. Buy a name brand and you will not be sorry.

Seems like a silly question...the compressor is under the hood on the passenger side. It's usually black and shaped like a...compressor. If you can't find this to repair or replace it, better let a service department handle this.
If you have a central air conditioner should the circulation fan run only when the compressor kicks on or is it better to always leave it on?
If you want constant air movement in you home leave the fan on. If you just want the fan to cycle on with the compressor, move the switch to auto. It does not harm the fan either way.

How do you replace the air conditioning compressor clutch on your 1997 GMC S15 Jimmy?
You are better off replacing the whole compressor. You can purchase a remanufactured compressor for $30 more and it comes with a 1 year warranty. Also replace the dryer/accumulator with this. It only has 4 bolts that hold the compressor on and it's a one for one swap. First, remove the hoses from the dryer SLOWLY!!! This will allow the system to depressurize. Once the air stops hissing, remove the front and rear connectors from the dryer. Remove the 4 main bolts from the compressor and the one bolt holding the hose connections. Remove the serpentine belt and lift off the compressor. CAUTION****** Drain the oil from the compressor and fill the new one with the same amount of new GM AC oil. Install the new dryer and the new compressor. After installation, I suggest taking the vehicle to a service shop and have them vacuum the system and recharge it. You just saved yourself approximately $400 anyway, so having a professional perform these tasks is only a few dollars. This could save your new ac system in the long run.
