"...get the clutch to engage by the hot wire trick..."

Umm..., I wouldn't run the compressor a lot that way if it's very low on refrigerant. You need to determine if it's building any pressure and pumping any Freon around. If the level is very low, then Freon isn't pumped through the system, and no lubricant gets circulated through the system. This isn't good for the compressor.
