Where to get this part?

Found this add on another site nad thought hmmmm, I have never heard of this before.
Silver 1990 Mazda Miata SPORTY ragtop convertable, running, a/c needs new clutch to blow cold air - but just put the top down and let the wind blow through your hair.

A/C Compressors have a clutch that keeps your acc belt from running the compressor when you have the A/C off. Push the A/C button on the dash and the clutch engages. Mazda may not sell it as a separate part from the compressor.

Then again, I could be wrong. I kinda think I pulled it out of my ::Bum::, but it sounds logical.

I'd bet it needs more than just a clutch!

Titus is correct the clutch is a replaceable item, in some cases you'll need special tools to change out the clutch.

I worked at an Automotive A/C parts distributor in my youth. ;)

I give up. I've been looking for 30 minutes for a picture of one of the old units that hung on the car window and was filled with ice.

I bet many of those old tin-type photos haven't survived through the years.
