if I replace the whole compressor and I don't use the Ac am i right to assume it won't harm the new pump if there's leaks in the system? Also can I remove the lines connected to it without getting the whole system evacuated?

If you remove the lines you will loose the refrigerant. Any time the system is opened, you should pull a vacuum on the system to get all moisture out. Use an impact wrench to remove the center bolt, hit it with short, quick blasts. It sounds like the system is low on refrigerant if the clutch won't lock the clutch with the key in the run position, and the control set to air. If it has a low charge the low pressure switch won't let the clutch kick in. Usually the center part of the clutch has threads in it to pull that part off the shaft. Remove the center bolt, and thread a larger bolt back in the center. the bolt will hit the shaft and force the center part of the clutch off the shaft. Behind the center part that you just removed will be a snap ring holding the outer part of the clutch with the bearing on the nose of the compressor, which is lightly pressed on. The magnet is behind the part you have just removed.

I'd replace the coil, as I have had them get weak on my tractor, and not pull and hold the clutch together. The coil is not that tight on the nose of the compressor. A couple of screw drivers behind the coil should lever it off. A dead blow hammer should tap it back on.

I have replace compressors before and not attach the coil wire until I could get it vacuumed out.

went on a hunch and threw my old serpentine belt on and so far so good noise is gone! Wounder why my new dayco belt that I put on less than 7 months ago was making that noise? Didn't notice and major defects other than it was a bit looser than the old one
