That's probably a good coil. You need to check ground as well. You have voltage and ground at the plug, and a good coil - so the only conclusion is that the coil is engaging but the friction material for the clutch is missing enough that it's not engaging the compressor.

There's a nut at the middle of the clutch. You need to pull the bolt out and disassemble the clutch. There may be some shims in it that can be removed to get it to work, but it will probably fail again soon. I would just get a new clutch.

When the clutch is engaged, it is supposed to move the outer plate .080, IIRC.

Does that make sense?
