Maybe your first mech was kinda 'helping your problem to develop', huh?
You likely got wise to change him out.
Weird things ARE possible but that explanation is a little heavy for me. Only thing likely needed there was a new clutch alone and I for one would simply use the 'bad' one over after going over it with a finetooth comb. BTDT.
My warning signals go off every time I hear the compressor has to change, doing my own work in 50 years it just never happens; and I sold plenty of compressors when I was in parts. Common to have the 'bad' one come back as a core and seemingly nothing wrong with it. I even kept a few to put on something else and not one was bad out of those, they pressured up and cooled perfectly.
The market is such now that nobody wants to do cheap fixes, they all look to do the compressor as it brings in the most buck similar to automatic transmission work now (change the whole thing). D=mn shame that people give up thousands in work not needed all the time. Both ways I've saved thousands there.
