So, yesterday I had good luck with finding a bearing!
$20!
(I'm not going to post the part number until I get it pressed into the pulley though. I want to be 100% on this so I don't lead anyone astray.)

Next hard task is getting the bearing OUT.
It's not quite as simple as I thought. There is no lip/edge to push on with the press. I may have to treat it like a wheel bearing race after I do some creative Dremeling. Stay tuned!
Please let us know. My rebuilt A/C compressor is only 2 years old now, but the bearing has slowly gone from totally silent to every once in a while a slight whine, and since I am a perfectionist it will get replaced if I consistently start hearing it. Engine accutally has never been as quiet as the last few months due to the rebuild and lock nuts on exhaust headers.
