My Lemans had a locked up a/c clutch bearing when I bought the car. Not knowing the condition of the compressor or any of the a/c system I decided to just replace the bearing. It was acually very easy. You can remove the cluch from the compressor without removing the compressor or opening the system in any way. A large C clip retains the bearing. I was able to take it to a local auto parts store like Napa and just buy the bearing. I put it all back together and it's been working great ever since.
