You will have to replace the refrigerant, but not the engine coolant.
My car is going through the same issue with the A/C. You CAN replace the compressor clutch without replacing the compressor, but the caveat is that you can't tell if the compressor is any good without a clutch. So basically you are gambling that the compressor will still be good by only replacing the clutch. Hope this helps!

You need to BCLear. Why did you replace it? Different reasons need different procedures.
1 hr maybe. it's like replacing an alt but you will lose some freon & have to pay for a charge.
no, unless u have to remove the compressor unit. The clutch can be replaced with out removing the compressor if you have room to do it.
my ac compressor is bad and i want to change it myself how can i do this

The compressors that come with central Ac systems are hermetically sealed and have oil inside. There is no need to add oil. If you are replacing the compressor then flush the line set first then replace, also install a filter drier.
Your AC compressor may be squealing due to a worn-out belt or a malfunctioning compressor. To fix it, you can try replacing the belt or having a professional inspect and repair the compressor if needed.
