After a little searching on the web, it appears to me that the AC clutch is
Four Seasons 48812 and the compressor is Four Seasons 58064.

Those fit a 1975 Ford Granada with 351 and the pictures look right. I'll place
an order early next week so, if anyone has information about whether or not
those are the correct parts, please let me know.

Thanks, John.
Here is a picture:
http://gallery.me.com/scottisensee#100036/IMG_6983
The bare metal pulley is the original Bricklin AC clutch. It has a single
pulley and a larger diameter section that I imagine serves as a balancing
weight. Next to it, I am holding an AC clutch that I picked up from a parts
store to see if it would work. That's black and has two pulleys. It is
narrower than the Bricklin clutch so neither pulley aligns with the belt.
I can get just a compressor and move the old clutch to it, but the bearings
are sounding a little rough so I would prefer to replace the clutch too. I
can
try to match it by picture, as you suggest, although most of the parts stores
around me are staffed by high school kids who only know how to look parts up
by make and model using the computer.
I am hoping someone has the part number for a compressor with clutch
installed that would be a direct replacement.
I'll let you know once I have it worked out so you can put part numbers in
the
parts list on the website.

Scott,
Sorry I can't be much help. I tried to do some searching online for York ac
compressors.
But didn't see anything like what we need.
Can you find a picture of just the clutch in the auto parts stores paper
catalogues?
If so, you may have to get the compressor and then a clutch. Can you order
just
the compressor without the clutch?
What's different about the clutches?
You might also want to check to see if you have any industrial AC supply
houses in your
area. They may be able to get you what you need. Just check the prices
first.
Keep us posted.
John
