Mine works currently will save this for later though

It's usually obviously when the bearing starts to go. I like to just replace the pulley and the clutch when I take them apart but in this case almost brand new still.

Is that a 134-A compressor or?

[@MrStangdawg]

This is OEM compressor (actually original to car) that I swapped the manifold connectors on top and rebuilt it like 8 years ago.
