Several.

The trick is to buy a used compressor with a GOOD coil. Figure out how to remove the clutch, then go pull yours from the car.

I find the hardest part is usually getting a snap ring off without pulling the compressor out. So far I've been successful.

You should also look at shimming your clutch. I've never had to do it, but sometimes they wear and need a shim from what I've read.

YouTube is your friend. Not fun laying on your back doing a Jetta, but very rewarding to drive home with AC.
