AC chatter--AC clutch???
Have an 81 florida barn find with 16K miles. Changed hoses, rubber, belts and fluids.
A new issue has presented recently. I get a small chatter from the AC when running. I'm guessing, the AC clutch. If that's the issue, should I replace immediately or can it wait till winter. Car gets driven cuople hundred miles a month.
Thanks in advance for you input.

if it is indeed the clutch chattering, try this: sometimes compressor oil, or motor oil will get on the clutch surfaces ,not allowing good contact, try to spray the clutch surface face(s) with carb cleaner or equivalent to remove the oil.
also, make sure there is a good negative ground.
