OK, I yield to a much more diverse experience. With only two vehicles I that work on my breadth of repair is narrow.
The Elky compressors are fairly cheap and they come with a new clutch and coil. The 911 has had just the one AC clutch.
I have one old dead compressor in my attic that I keep as my master reference. Getting the compressor "clocked" properly is always a challenge. There are several compressors that are real close but the pulley sticks out too far. I learned that the hard way. I have a second dead compressor that has the wrong pulley. I had been buying new compressors and just keeping the old ones. Next time I will take the correct one in to be sure they have the proper one, and my wrong one as the core for a rebuilt one. Then I will have two correct cores!
I have spare cores for the starter and the water pump as well. The stuff one collects after owning a car for 25 years and over 300,000 miles of home maintenance. Oh yea, I have a second alternator in perfect condition ready to bolt on. I bet I have gone through a dozen alternators. They are a 20 minute swap.
