Does anyone know if you can buy a ac compressor clutch without buying the compressor mine came off some how because the bolt came off the inside of the pulley is now a half inch hollow

yes.

1j0 298 012 is the "attachment parts". I think it's a nut and key.

1j0 820 811 m is the clutch. Please check with your parts seller to confirm that these parts will work on your car before buying them.

I sent you the parts diagram, it shows you what comes with what.

The clutch should be pretty easy to find at a junkyard. You don't need to replace the compressor just for that. Try this website search for used car parts: http://www.car-part.com/

My clutch came apart also, looks like the screws came out of the magnetic coil and the coil contacted the clutch and its now in need of replacement. I went to the dealer and they do not service just the clutch assembly, and none of the parts retailers do either. They all want to sell the enitire compressor. I am an old time mechanic, I replace worn parts not assembly's.
Were you able to source just the clutch assembly? I guess I need the coil behind the pulley assembly too. Please advise.

My coil had gone bad. I had luck with this setup.
