Default Intermittent failure of A/C to engage

Hey folks,

Out of the blue my A/C stopped blowing cold, then kicked on again -- I was thinking either a slipping belt (which looks fine -- car has only 27K on it) or a failing compressor or compressor clutch.

Unfortunately, I am out of warranty.

A search suggests that the clutch can fail, although I also saw a few threads where posters claimed that low pressure in the system can cause the compressor to go on and off (which is news to me).

Other symptoms include a slight bounce on the idle -- probably due to A/C compressor engaging then disengaging.

Thoughts on this?

Also, in the even that I need a new compressor or clutch assembly, anybody who has tossed theirs, please shoot me a PM.
