Today I installed a new AC compressor clutch because my AC doesn't work. The clutch now engages which I am happy about, but there is no air coming out of the vents, even though I can hear it blowing while sitting inside the car. Any thoughts?

Is you tube [ orafice] freezing up. Check the tube from the firewall to the radiator. See if it's cold. You could have a clog. Are you saying no blowing air, or no cold air

does it come out of the floor/defrost? If so, you've lost vacuum to the HVAC box to move the various internal doors around to direct the airflow

No blowing air at all, though I hear it blowing. This means it’s not the orafice right?

It's probably one of the vacuum tubes that are right under the dash... Like mentioned above. They get loose from the rubber distribution thingy. Mine has done that before. I just reach under there and plug it back in.
This.

Check the firewall for loose vacuum. They run across , and the loose one may be on top of the dryer. Big can with tubes coming out the top.
