Default Ac compressor

Any idea on how much it will cost to replace the ac compressor on my c6.
looks like the bearings are going out in the clutch and can the clutch just be replaced

You risk the bearing in the clutch overheating and creating a mess. I would get the parts and avoid driving it. Easy repair if you catch in time and no need to evacuate AC.
