Need 1985 gsl-se a/c compressor w/clutch

Hello, I need an A/C COMPRESSOR W/CLUTCH or just the clutch kit or the bearing. This is a
Denso compressor not for the base models and not available. Does anyone know where to get one?
Prefer new but will try used.

apparently its a Nippon Denso 10P13E compressor, 0000-68-0038-91
i show Denso 204-1367, 5511803 and 57370 as possible matches

the bearing has a Mazda number of 0000-68-0026-70. if you can find another car with the 10R13E compressor, you might come up with a better number for the bearing, or have someone match it up

RockAuto.com lists a clutch bearing compatible with the Nippon Denso 10P13 A/C compressor, made by National, PN# 5000KFF.

It would likely be easier to source a complete compressor with clutch. Rock Auto would be a good choice to start as mentioned above. Many commercial parts stores should have a listing for one as well.

Unfortunately like many parts for our cars RockAuto.com only offers the compressor w/o clutch and the compressor is currently "out of stock." Here is another option, (https://www.discountacparts.com/buyn..._RC?crid=31387). The Nippon Denso is currently stock right now but has an option to fill-in your name an email and they will contact you when they have one in stock. However, they do have two rebuilt options for the Sanden PN#4696 compressor/with clutch that are listed as "guaranteed to fit 1985 RX7. Hope this is of some help.

i think next week i'll put the bearing and compressor part numbers in our system, and see what the thing comes up with for crosses to other brands.

the factory sold the compressor and clutch separate, which is lame.

Thanks, I checked with the shop and they said the clutch bearing was the problem, I couldn't get the compressor so I asked
if they would replace the bearing if I could get it. They said yes so I checked with Rock Auto and they had separate listings
for the Denso and Sanden. I was concerned since I got the wrong compressor on ebay , a Sanden, because their listings
were wrong. All models came up as a Sanden if Sanden seller was listed and all came up as Denso if Denso seller was listed.
Since Rock Auto has them separate I just called a local shop here and got one for $26. Got my car back and bearing noise is gone.

its tricky because there is/was a tax on cars entering the US with A/C so a lot of Mazda's up to the early 2000's have A/C installed here at the port. Often the port system is completely different than the factory setup, which always makes life interesting.
however in 84-85 the GSL-SE's and 12A cars with power steering all have the Denso factory system, and then most of the rest have the Sanden system. Key word being most.
