I will dissassemble clutch next. BTW- there is very noticeable play in the clutch.

Correct. If it's low on refrigerant, it would either have the compressor engaged or not have voltage to the clutch. You have a compressor cycling switch that is a NO switch, and does not close until a certian pressure is reached. It's on the return line located at the back of the compressor.
Please explain the play in the clutch. Does the face of the clutch have up and down movement? That's likely a bad front bearing in the compressor. I have the same problem in mine currently.
