a/c clutch removal help

Thanks guys...I'll be attempting it once again in a few hours. Hopefully my next post is full of excitement about getting this done haha.

I got the clutch and snap ring off but the pulley is stuck...I tried spraying pb blaster on there and tapping it and prying it but no luck. I have a clutch puller but I can't get it to work right. Any tips on how to get this thing off? From my understanding it should just fall off once the snap ring is out. Is the field coil messed up or something?


Also, here are the pictures of the clutch I pulled off...it's messed up pretty nicely:



There was also something else that caught my eye. The new clutch I bought from autozone has the plug for the sensor on the clutch. The old plug is on the side of the motor. Is this going to be a problem? Do I have the wrong clutch, or is my motor swapped? I had this problem when I bought a power steering cap, none of the ones they showed fit it (I ended up finding my old one at the back of the engine about 50 miles later). I took some pictures of this too:




edit: does anyone have the belt size if I wanted to just run it without the a/c compressor attached? I need to use my car asap so if I could do that I can just put a whole new compressor on sometime later.

Well, I got it all taken off and put back on...started up the car...won't fire. It turns over just fine and keeps going but it won't start up. I seriously can't believe this...any ideas what could be the problem? Coil pack? Ignition switch? Alternator?

I tried taking it out and plugging it in again to no avail, could it just be totally shot? Would something like that go bad while the car is running? What about the IAC, would that be something that would do this or would that just make it sputter? What I've come up with so far:

1. crank sensor
2. iac
3. ignition coils
4. ignition switch
5. alternator

ideas? input? I really hope I don't have to get this thing towed to a shop.

edit: Tomorrow I'm going to replace the crank sensor ($22) and the IAC($50). If it's neither of those I'm taking it in. Am I wasting my time replacing them?

Also, the check engine light and battery light stays on when I have the ignition turned all the way and if I try to start it. All the other lights come on too but they shut off...does this mean it's throwing a code? Is it just throwing a check engine light or is the battery light on as well (meaning alternator?)? I'm really stuck here guys (its almost 2.30 in the morning now).
