What is the purpose of the thermostatic switch in a cycling clutch system?

A thermostatic clutch is usually used on a car's engine cooling fan. It uses a bi-metallic spring, which tightens and forces the fan to turn when the air temperature inside the engine compartment reaches a certain level.
Basically is used to prevent the fan from wasting your engine's power when there is no need for cooling, by allowing the fan to freewheel when the engine is cold. It then serves as a device to automatically engage the fan and keep the engine cool when necessary.

Yes you do, do not remove the switch with freeon in the system. must drain system down. It depends on the vehicle. Many (if not most) of the "clutch cycling" switches are actually simple pressure sensors and there is a schrader valve which will hold the pressure while you change the valve.
