" Hello all! I'm looking at getting an a-b type car for not much money, and I
" found a 1988 Eagle Premier ES for sale.
" 
" The problems are a burnt-out "air compressor clutch" and a driver's seat
" belt buckle that needs to be replaced. Is this "air compressor clutch" a
" part to the air conditioning? Is the vehicle otherwise driveable with this
" problem until I would get it fixed?

sounds like it - i don't know what other air compressor the car would
have.  a/c compressors definitely have electric clutches; that's how
they cycle on and off.

if it isn't seized you should be able to unplug it and just have no
a/c.  of course if it's burned out it may be functionally 'unplugged'
already...

two notes you might be interested in:
1. if you ever need tranny svc and have a hard time, it's a zf also
   used in some fwd volvos, in the '80s/'90s at least.
2. the 'prv' [peugeot-renault-volvo] v6 line was supposedly sold to
   hyundai who improved on its reliability.  this would probably only
   be worth following up if you ever need major engine work or a
   transplant.
