Need some help..

A friend has a Cavalier that stopped cooling this summer. The car has roughly 85,000 (grandmas hand me down).

I hooked up gauges and found the low side to be sitting at 20psi and high side to about 5psi.

Visual inspection did not show any apparent oil leakage at the compressor. One thing I did find was what looked like a belt had shredded and gotten wedged behind the flywheel and the compressor body.

The clutch moves freely (didn't check the clutch before removing the debris) and I can hear fluid moving through the system.

Can anyone tell me if/how I can jump the compressor to see if the clutch will kick in?

Thanks
