Default C5 alternator

Does anyone know if just the clutch on the C5 alternator can be replaced ?

A new Vette Alt from GM Parts House is $317.89

Anyone know the actual AC Delco Model #

I think it is a CS130D but there seems to be many models within the CS130D series

Yup. Used mostly on the A4 cars IIRC. Maybe more of a dampener than an actual clutch per se. Designed to absorb some vibration issues people were complaining about when placing the transmission in "Drive" while idling. I don't think they're available separately.
