Default A/C Compressor Specs

I've a '72 with the 454 & 4 spd. The A/C compressor was AWOL when I bought the car, so I'm in the process of replacing it. The parts house shows two for my application. One with a 5" clutch and one with a 5-3/4" clutch. (I'm not sure if this is really the pulley dia. or the clutch size - and neither is the parts guy.) Any clues on which is the correct diameter?

Thanks in advance,

Lurkin
