I troubleshot the problem as much as i could determining it was either the AC clutch or compressor...

Took my car in to the Nissan dealership and within a few hours they had my diagnosis.

The compressor is locking up causing the clutch to not engage. So..... a new AC compressor $1334.18 drive-out.... wtf, thats a really, really expensive compressor. I asked for comparison and the altima and maxima are about the same. the compressor itself was close to a grand

So it's the compressor? It looks like you can get the AC compressor clutch seperate for far less ($261.90). Not 100% sure if this is all you would need though. From the diagram, it looks like a separate assembly.

Yeah, its the compressor, i wish it was just the clutch. Im going to get more details as to why its seizing up. I'll make sure to add it to this thread for future reference.
