I'm working on my mates escort cosworth with the P8 Weber injection system and fitted with factory fitted a/c.

The air con works fine, the compressor can be turned easily by hand, the r134a gas pressures are spot on, no leaks.
It's 37 degrees here so I'd like to find a solution asap..
Any ideas?
Surely the clutch wouldnt lock up unless the engine is running etc ?
Are you manually locking the clutch and trying it by hand ?
ISCV is something to look at too.
