I also thought of an improvement to part 2 to not requiring to flip part 1 and makes ...

DIY AC Clutch Replacement In Place

Today I installed the IPD aftermarket AC clutch without evacuating the refrigerant. The IPD clutch is significantly cheaper then the Volvo and has the advantage of not needing a puller to remove the clutch which is very useful when figuring out the correct shin stack.
