Default 2003 MPV A/C Clutch

2003 MPV, 3.0 L engine, appreciate any advice, experience or suggestions!
Anyone have experience with these clutches? It's rattling badly and I understand the entire compressor must be replaced rather than just the clutch. Is there any reasonable way to eliminate the clutch from the system to avoid full compressor replacement? Roughly 200km, engine decent, tires, brakes all good, hate to get rid of it.
Help? Thanks!

Well, the compressor was seized. Clutch was pried off/removed with a screwdriver, hammer and cold chisel. Then we noticed the bearing on the pulley needed replacement. Working fine now but a/c repair was estimated close to $2K, not gonna happen, windows roll down just fine
