Hello,

The AC clutch can be replaced easily on this vehicle.
It can be done in about an hour or so, depending on your comfort level.
You will have to use ac clutch tool to get this job done. Those tools can be rented from your local auto parts store.
Before you can get started on the clutch, you will have to remove the serpentine belt.

I have attached the replacement procedure as well as the belt diagram for your reference.

Please let me know of any questions.
Thank you.
