Default Need AC compressor with clutch, 1990

I am in need of a Ac unit and clutch for my 1990 S4. The compressors are different than the previous years but are shared with the all 91's and ROW 92's
I am hoping to find a used unit from a lister or any suggestions where to search.
Also if one of our fine vendors has one let me know.
Thanks all
Ole

928 Int has rebuilt compressors for ~$500.

For that kind of money I'd be talking with Roger about the new Porsche units he can get.

Ole, why do you need a new one? Could you not rebuilt that?

Same with me. Happened at a stop light and clouds of smoke came out from under the hood. It eventually stopped smoking...

That is exactly what mine did, the belt was smoking so much I couldn't see the car next to me. Had to cut the belt.

Does that include the clutch? Would my core be excepted considering it seized?
