I rebuilt mine 2 years ago when I converted to R134A. New compressor, condenser, drier, all new lines and hoses, flushed the evaporator and the POA. It was working fine; it was blowing cold air. I think the bearing failure spewed grease which caused the clutch to slip and overheat. I didn't hear, smell or notice anything off. My truck has stock exhaust and is very quiet so I tend to notice things that are unusual. I'm going to remove the rest of the clutch and ask around on A/C forums if anyone knows where I can get a similar clutch. If that doesn't work out I'll be looking at a new compressor.
