Re: Air Conditioning Compressor Clutch availability
On top of this, Top Flight Automotive has not been any where near Top Flight for me. I had parts on order with them for over 6 months and cancelled my order.

Re: Air Conditioning Compressor Clutch availability
I just got the GM coil and it's not the same as the coil in the aftermarket clutch. Is it possible that the aftermarket clutch assembly isn't exact as the OEM clutch? Both the aftermarket clutch assembly and the OEM clutch coil I got from ROCKAUTO with part numbers that correspond with LT5 DOHC.

I also found a new GM part number that supersedes the OEM clutch assembly part number,I didn't note the number put the part shows several places has it in stock at $260 for the OEM clutch assembly.

Re: Air Conditioning Compressor Clutch availability
Updating this thread in case it helps somebody in future.
I bought 4321248 from RockAuto and found I had to modify the clutch in three ways to make it work on my car (hopefully I remember the detail correctly, I did this six months ago and am relying on my photos to prompt my memory): 1. There was a locating lug on the ac compressor which wasn't required and fouled the compressor, so I had to remove it. 2. A locating hole was in the wrong position on the clutch. I rectified this by drilling a locating hole in the required position. 3. The electrical connector was of a different style, so I had to remove the old female connector from my broken clutch and wire it onto the new clutch. These changes didn't sit well with my OCD, but in lieu of being able to find a plug and play clutch its what I had to do to fix the clutch so I could drive my car.
