Funny that you say it doesn't make sense because now you seem to understand that when the clutch is engaged it is also lubricating ( not really what you said in the previous comment)
When it comes to addressing the OP question explaining the process is in fact relevant, lubrication is part of that process.
Pulling the fuse was directed towards you when you said lubrication has nothing to do with it, pulling that fuse will cause premature seal failure.
Anyways I am done with this childish bickering.

That all could of been done and over with admitting he was wrong, misread or had forgotten. Nope, he chooses to bicker on.
Now, I don't get the chance to come on much anymore and I used to be the moderator for this section until I gave it up years ago, so I have plenty of knowledge when it comes to helping out ( actually was a moderator over at dodge talk as well)
I am not here to bicker with anyone but if you feel the need to question something I say I will respond and prove you wrong... if I am wrong (( and I have been before) I will thank you for bringing it to my attention.

Ok, you're wrong. The a/c does not cycle on and off with the purpose of circulating lubricant, it cycles mainly when the low pressure switch or evaporator temperature probe tells it to in order to prevent the core from freezing. Oil circulating is merely a byproduct of the a/c running. Yes oil circulates when the a/c is running, but the a/c doesn't not cycle to circulate lubricant.
I think it's funny how you still think you're not the one bickering here. You're intentionally trying to cause commotion by making false accusations against people. I'm glad you're not a moderator here anymore because someone with your level of maturity is not someone we need running things.

ill satisfy this argument, i ran my truck all winter every winter with the a/c clutch UNPLUGGED, the truck went 12 years in my possession with 0 a/c issues, the clutch does NOT need to cycle for the express purpose of lubricating the compressor.
the a/c is a closed system which is evacuated of all contaminants before being charged with freon, as long as there are no leaks there are no contaminants in there, and with the clutch disengaged the compressor isnt engaged, this means that the compressor isnt moving, no movement means no lubrication required just the same as when you store an air compressor for your garage. now after sitting for a while you want to run it with low load to distribute that lubrication for best lifespan, but thats not really the point.
as the the OPs origional question, the a/c clutch will cycle with the heat on as long as the a/c button is pushed (at least in later years where this was available) and in any position blowing defroster air for the purpose of drying the air to avoid condensation on the windshield.
