Aftermarket AC clutch?

Aftermarket AC clutch?
Hi all,
According to the dealer, my AC clutch is dead. My service advisor says that there is no OEM replacement, and that replacement of the whole compressor at $1400 is the only thing they can do. He recommended I find an aftermarket AC clutch (if available) or maybe get one from a junkyard. I've not had much luck finding an aftermarket part. Does anyone know if that exists? If yes, can you point me to a supplier?
Thanks!

You can buy NEW AC compressors, OEM with a new clutch for 493$, rebuilt for $290 plus install(and a new dryer,$52) ...so you might want to shop around....I have only heard of one person who found a local AC compressor re-builder that changed out the AC compressor clutch...he was in FL....Do a quick search.
I have not used this place...it came up on a quick search...different quality levels are available...new, re-manufactured, etc...but you can compare parts Prices with OEM http://www.discountcompressor.com/ad...60-01993.html#
