Sometimes the clutch can be replaced separate from the compressor, but sometimes it's all one unit. Do you know if the $1800 job included that? I sure hope so because the effort and labor to replace the clutch (assuming it's a separate piece) is pretty trivial once you've taken the whole compressor out. If it's confirmed getting voltage but not engaging, it almost certainly needs to be replaced.
(I know this stuff from experience with a Saturn I used to drive around
without AC because I was too poor to actually get it fixed properly.
