Mercury Sable Clutch Problem

When I turn the blower on inside the car, the a/c compressor is getting red hot at the a/c clutch,whether I turn the heater or air condition on. If i turn it off the car seems to run fine. Is this a sign that the compressor or a/c clutch has/ is going out? If i dont turn on the blower(heat or a/c) do i need to replace it right away?
