Default A/C compressor clutch sheared off?

Okay, so I'm driving down a smooth country road, doibg about 60, when I hear a loud crash and something hitting the underside of my car. I look in the rear view and don't see anything and slow way down to see if something is rolling out from the car out back. Within a few minutes the a/c air starts getting warm. I pull over and check under the hood and the clutch assy from the a/c compressor is gone! The bolt has sheared off flush.
Can this be fixed without removing the compressor and evacuating my freon?

Kinda sounds like you'll need a new compressor. Even if you won't need a new one you'll probably want to remove the compressor to try and remove the broken bolt, which includes evacuating the system. Got any pics?

That's insane. Never heard of that happening before.

What kind of compressor is OEM on your year S2000?
