Kevin, are you sure it doesn't say "until you slide the lever all the way to "OFF" _and_ turn off the ignition"? On my '70 Supreme the compressor clutch would stay engaged until the ignition was turned off, and from what I remember the Owners Manual stated the same - the ignition must be turned off to release the compressor clutch. I didn't like that, so I installed a toggle switch to disengage the clutch when I turned the AC off. I can check my '70 manual when I get home, but I'm very sure I remember correctly.
