Which fuse?

There are two separate circuits to make the A/C work.

Ok, that's the circuit that actually powers the A/C clutch. (as opposed to the control circuit) Unplug the compressor, replace the fuse, turn on the A/C, see if it still pops the fuse.

If it does, pull the A/C relay, and try again.

See if you can figger out which part of the circuit has the short.
