> 1) Does it sound like
> the clutch is getting worn out?

Yes the clutch is worn out, or it is not getting 12V.  Make sure it is getting 
its full voltage at the terminal and it is not reduced due to a partly broken 
wire.  I think the AC clutch takes a bit of current.

  2) And, if so, does anyone know if just the
> clutch can obtained and changed without requiring draining and recharging the
> freon? 

The clutch and freon should be seperate.  I would think the clutch is 
pressed on the end of the shaft.  It may be something you can do in the 
car.  If the compressor has to come out of the car, then you have mess with 
the freon.  This would have to be done by a professional,

 3) The best place to buy one?

I would think the compressor and the clutch are fairly common aftermarket 
accessories.  Try an auto parts store or one of the TSN advertisers.  For 
cheap you could go to a junk yard.

Drive Safe,
