Default A/C clutch/pulley replacement kit

Has anyone been able to find a replacement kit that includes the A/C pulley? I can only find the Sanden kit directly on their website and after taxes and shipping I can get a remanufactured compressor with pulley and then either sell off the compressor or keep it for spare for only a few more dollars. I tried eBay but the closest I can find is a kit for TJs/WJs but the pulley looks a bit smaller, anyone know if that may work? https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F25 3486805216

I bent my pulley a bit when I replaced the bearing. I'd like to replace the coil, pulley and clutch plate as they all got a bit beat up when the bearing went and the pulley seized.

Thanks!

P.S. Also I have a friend that will probably be parting out a 96, would that clutch/pulley be the same as my '99?

Bump...

Looking at compressors with clutches it is showing intercompatibility with Dodge Dakota. Going to try to find one for that, they look really similar to the liberty clutches and pulleys, does anyone know what's different? If it's just wiring I can make that work easy. The snap rings even look the same but with my luck they're all different diameters...why is this so hard? Lol

Clutch kits are just as expensive as a complete compressor my pulley has a deep groove from the clutch . because of the cost I'm looking at replacing the compressor after all mine is 17 years old . I know it would work better with a new one .

I was finding clutch kits on eBay for $30-40 depending on the completeness

Edit: My compressor spins freely and makes no noise so I figure I might as well run it till it explodes then either get the bypass kit for $40 or replace the entire system.

I searched for a while for just a pulley and clutch for a reasonable price. I never did find it so I just buy the remanufactured complete compressor.

+1 easiest fix.
It's like searching forever and trying to replace just the oil filter media because the housing is OK.
If it's worth repairing, it's worth repairing correctly.

Very sure it uses the same bearing so I purchased it and am going to give it a shot. Hopefully it's just the wiring that is different. I can transplant a plug no problem.

Works! A couple small differences but the pulley is beef! Shims are different, nut is different I think(I just used the old one), and the electrical plug(easy fix). More here: https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f46/96...6/#post3518841
