Has anyone had luck replacing the bearings in the clutch pulley assembly? What about aftermarket units, has anyone tried recently to order one from a major autoparts store such as Autozone or O'Rileys? (I know about the problems in the past)

The unit works great other than the noise/vibration. Also, does anyone have a part number for a shorter belt that will allow me to bypass the AC unit all together?

Thanks!

This one page has all that you could desire:
-short belt length and size
-compressor options
-contact info on rebuild place that has my old one

I just searched on here for A/C compressor and well, there is a lot of info :-)
