My Fleetwood had the clutch fail and self destruct recently. the compressor pulley is still intact, although the bearings are now visible due to the missing clutch. want to drive the car, but am worried that if the compressor pulley fails, it could cause serious problem as the serpentine belt seems to drive everything. This is not a daily driver, but I would like to use it until I can afford to replace the compressor. Please let me know what you think I should do.
