no it won't blow the clutch.
think of it like a normal clutch, if your engine's doing 4000rpm and you ride the clutch to get going (and there will be resistance on the blower because it has to produce pressure) you will have no clutch left soon.
but if you run your car with the clutch disengaged, it won't destroy the clutch, but you won't get anywhere fast either 
but what's the point of driving a car with a supercharger disengaged? the restriction would be horrendous, it would end up spinning the supercharger anyway to the point where it would provide just enough air to feed the engine, (and be a slug in the response department) so why not drive it and produce boost? it uses as much power to run as an a/c compressor, but gives back a shitload ( i think they're only underdriven by something like 9% or something....well under holden's shithouse attempt at 18%)
i'm retro-fitting one onto my L18 in my 180B with a draw thru 45DCOE and an off-throttle switch.
