Haha thanks... I feel like an idiot. but one last question: would that front part (I think you said the clutch) on the compressor falling off lead to me losing ac but not heat?

Yes. The clutch on the compressor is what engages the compressor to begin pumping refrigerant. When it's off/not engaged there is no refrigerant being pumped through the evaporator core. With the clutch missing the compressor will not engage.

The heat is a completely different system. Coolant flows through the heater core and like a radiator is cooled via air flow across the core.
