Air Conditioning (no im not ripping it out)

Car = SW20 MR2

When i bought the car it was not working, had it re gassed a while ago as a perk.
Still full of gas by the sounds, and the clutch gets 12V when i turn the ac on. Wounder if the magnetic clutch is stuffed. Can you replace these without loosing the gas?

yep.
Remove belt.
Undo central bolt on the clutch pulley, pull that out, there will be a circlip, remove that, disconnect the power from clutch electric magnet (plug) unbolt ground from it, you can pull that out and replace in reverse order.
This is all from memory ;)... clutch electric magnets are interchangable on most toyotas just have to redo the power plug if different...

It's actually not that bad on the MR2 coz it's accessable via the front of the rear/right wheel.

And if yours is a pre-96, that recharge sure is a perk coz last time I wanna get it charged, it's $400+ and that's 4 years ago.
No "stance", no "hellaflush", none of that bullshit. Nothing but no grip on full boost.
