AC compressor - clutch seems to be locking upmaking noise can only the clutch be replaced or does the entire Compressor need to be replaced?
If the AC pulley is locking up when the ac compressor clutch engages, it's not a clutch problem, it's a compressor problem. But yes, the AC clutch can usually be replaced separately. The problem is, if the clutch is worn out the compressor is probably worn out as well. It usually isn't that much more to replace the whole thing.

Effect of liquid carryover in reciprocating compressor?
Liquid carryover in a reciprocating compressor can lead to several detrimental effects, including reduced efficiency and potential damage to the compressor components. The presence of liquid can cause hydraulic locking, which impairs the compressor's ability to function correctly and can result in increased wear and tear on moving parts. Additionally, liquid carryover can lead to contamination of the compressed gas, affecting downstream processes and equipment. Proper separation and management of liquids are crucial to maintaining compressor performance and longevity.

Is it possible for the motor to lock if the ac compressor is not working?
Yes, it is possible for the motor to lock if the AC compressor is not functioning properly. If the compressor seizes or has internal damage, it can create excessive resistance in the engine's accessory drive system, potentially leading to the motor locking up. Additionally, if the compressor is not disengaging when the AC is turned off, it can put strain on the engine, contributing to a lock condition. Regular maintenance and inspection can help prevent such issues.

it will probably also die if you turn on the A/C, because the connection here is probably the A/C compressor. See if that is the case, and you may your answer. It may be that the A/C compressor is locking up or dragging, or your idle is too low to handle the extra load of the compressor.
