Compressor Clutch

I'm not certain about Ca. , but in Virginia (northern only), it's one of those things , that if the inspector determines(in his view) that an 'inspection' cannot be performed safely (without causing damage to car or injury/danger to the inspector), then that is 'just cause' for 'rejection from testing'--note I said rejection FROM TESTING not 'failed'. Possibly eliminating the A/C somehow from the system, will be enough to allow for testing. Any California DEQ online resources?
