2018 Ram 1500 3.6 v6; electrician not mechanic, how much of a pain will replacing the AC Compressor be?

Have some tools, will be buying any speciality ones required

Edit: Thank you guys, didnt know changing the clutch was an option, will be starting there. Also didnt know it involved recharging fridgerant if its the compressor too so really hoping clutch does it.

2018 Ram 1500 3.6 V6, battery wasn't charging, electric systems started failing. ALT 180A fuse is fine, battery seems fine. A/C front plate doesnt spin with the rest, should it?

"Battery saver mode" kicked on, A/C compressor was off (blowing humid air into the cab). ABS, Traction, Powersteering warning all came on as Voltage went below 10v. Made it into my driveway, died. Swapped with battery with other vehicle, same issue.
