Default AC Clutch problem video

Here is a video I made of my 1986 corvette ac problem. I am trying to get my ac working again. Maybe someone can help me with this problem by looking at the video..

Before you started adding freon was the a/c compressor not working at all? If the system was low or out of freon was it properly evacuated of atmospheric air? Have you attached a set of manifold a/c gauges to determine the high and low pressure? Has the system been properly prepped to add R134a when it originally had R12?

Some of this info may help to diagnose the problem.

Default I fixed it ha..

Well I got a hammer out and tapped the compressor. The clutch kicked in and I was able to charge my ac. It took a whole can of Freon, I will see how long it will hold the Freon.
