First make sure you have freon in your AC system, at least 85#'s of standing gauge pressure. If you do then unplug the wire harness on the AC compressor and put the test leads of a volt meter, set to DC volts, to the 2 wires in the plud. You should read 12vdc. If you read the 12vdc at the plud and when you plug it back to the compressor nothing happins your clutch is bad. Note that if the freon charge is gone or very low there is a pressure switch that will keep the 12vdc from making it to the plug.

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.
