When I turn on my air conditioner as soon as it clicks on it blows two separate fuses under the hood. The A/C clutch fuse and HVAC fuse are the two that keep blowing.

Yep, this happens when the A/C compressor clutch coil shorts out so it will need to be replaced. They may service the clutch coil separately but if not the compressor as a unit will need to be replaced. Here is a generic guide to help you step by step with instructions in the diagrams below to show you how on your car:

Okay, thank you for your answer, I really do appreciate it. The sad part is I just ordered the ac compressor so I'm guessing they sent me a faulty one. Thank you again for responding.
