In general, AC clutches are replaceable independent of the compressor. I have no specific info on your '99 Dodge.
In your case, I wonder why it's "failing" as opposed to "failed". If the coils short out, they don't come back. If it's slipping -- why? It's possible that the compressor does have a problem.
But since replacing the clutch is so much less expensive, it's probably wise to try that first.
