IF your clutch was slipping, you'd smoke it and hear strange noises as well, so if the unit is cooling (but only marginally) I'd suspect a freon leak resulting in a now low charge condition.
Changing out the compressor proper isn't bad. It's the added need to replace the filter / dryer, ensure the correct oil charge is added, evacuating the system of air and re-charging it to the proper level that requires mechanical (A/C) expertise and unique supporting equipment and tools.
