I heard a rumor to this before and I was interested. If the alternator is not producing enough voltage, the clutch can not engage the compressor.

If this is the case, don't buy a new alternator, just get new brushes for it. The 850/70 alternators have a plastic cover, removal exposes the brushes and regulator. Easy to swap out and no belt to mess with! Plus only around $40 for a new regulator. If you could find out the brush sizes, that would only cost around $10...
