A/C compressor clutches are supposed to fail open, so you just don't have the A/C come on but everything else still works. But that doesn't always happen.
If I remember correctly a typical A/C clutch coil gives around 10 ohms of resistance. It it's blowing a 30 amp fuse right away then it's got to be less than 1 ohm.
