Re: Camry Question

Recommened change is 50-60k for the belt. Not sure I would push it another 10. But if you can get an inspection cover off, you might check it for cracking. If it isn't bad, then you could give it a try.
You don't say what year or engine, so I would look up if it is an interference engine or not as well. If it is, spend a couple of bucks and change the belt yourself.
As for the a/c, check in the center of the pulley and see if the bolt is still there. I had a friend that had the a/c go out, and the bolt in the center backed out. So no shims or center and the compressor could not engage. Otherwise, I do not know if you can bypass the sensor.
As for the clutch, it depends on how good you are. I have seen cars go over 200k on the same clutch only to have 1 person that can't drive eat it in one day. Same goes true for a new car though.
