I would really think that the clutches are the same for OEM vs aftermarket, as most aftermarket sanden people make drop-in compressors for certain cars (it really has to do with pulley type and size and connection location {clock position} of the rear hose hook ups.). I would not think twice about grabbing a junk yard unit and testing it, but then again i see them on ebay for $50 sometimes new.

Sanden is kind of a generic term for the type, i'm sure by now they are made by 50 different mfrs with slightly differing specs. But I've never heard of anything swapping compressors and having some issue related to not enough voltage for the new one vs the old.
