It's a bit rusty from lack of use but I reckon it should clean up

Why do you want to remove the shim?
Unless the clutch is very worn it shouldn't need to be touched.
I think it's covered in RAVE.

I'd be more suspect of the leaking seal at the shaft. The green fur can be the oil from the compressor escaping.

Only because compressor oil is green.
It could be a slow leak from nearly twenty years or so recent but it does show there has been a weep of oil and an oil leak never cures itself.
Hmmm. Your call...

True that mark it’s original so probably best just to replace

You need to find the reason why it wasn't coming on in the first place my mate.
Maybe a lack of gas, broken switch or a duff rad.

Aircon compressors rarely fail in my experience.

That's true our Keith, normally à leaking seal dries the compressor out along with the gas escaping.

I’ve replaced all the switches and the rad that’s the only thing left that’s original left and I couldn’t find any leaks but probably wouldn’t show up through that compressor seal the rad had a leak so needed changing
