The whole system would be much more than $1000
The clutches do not often fail or wear out, but perhaps the compressor developed a problem that created more torque than the clutch could manage.
The clutch bearing sometimes fail.
Clutch will not engage if the overtemp switch on the compressor has failed. This is a separate part that can be replace without any loss of refrigerant.
Failed anti frost switch on evaporator can lead to compresssor overheating and cycling of the over-temp switch which leads to its failure. Anti-frost switch problems were fixed prior to 1999 production.
Has power steering fluid leaked down and contaminate the clutch?
Smoke means that the clutch is toast in any case.
