and that likely caused my compressor to fail

i didn't think there would be much relation between the two?
 
Are you sure he didn't say (or mean) A/C clutch?
 
nope, fan clutch. wanted $260 for a new one too! the napa one on there has a warranty though so i told him i'd take care of it.
 
There is a bolt in replacement fan clutch that spins more at lower RPM's, off of a grand.

Napa part #272310

.. if you're going through the work of changing it.

I used the Advanced Auto one for ~$37, fit fine haven't had time to beat on it yet.

Can't see how the fan and the AC are related, unless the fan somehow siezed the belt...
