AC compressor noise 850 1996

Hi All,

Today my 96 850 NA began making a bad noise with the AC compressor running (goes away instantly if I shut off AC manually). It's a grinding noise which led me to believe a bearing is going out. Is the compressor serviceable or am I looking at a replacement? Any idea of cost?
Could it be another bearing that starts making the noise when the tension in the serpentine belt goes up due to increased load of AC compressor?
Other info: Serpentine belt is old and needs replacement. Had evap replaced and system recharged two years ago. Has been working great since.
Any input is greatly appreciated.

Cheers
Johan Modig
