And now it won't disengage even when off... The clutch just keeps spinning and spitting out cold air... Can I drive to work and home like this with the ac on low and troubleshoot the shims tomorrow? Or should I reinstall the shorter belt and bypass it in the meantime??

Just went outside and added more
Shims until it "slightly" grabbed... Tightened her up... Put the belt back on... Started the jeep and voila no movement in the center... Turned on AC... Boom starts spinning... Turned it off.... Click it stopped ... YAAAAAYYYYYYY!!!
