There is a thread with the details of a replacement bearing that you can fit - if it makes a noise but works it probably is the bearing, sometimes slackening the belt reduces the noise to see if it is that. If it is no longer providing cold air then maybe a replacement is best.
I've always been pleasantly surprised about the nice cold air from the system, especially given the age of the car and that I've never had it re-gassed in the years I've owned it. I'll investigate how involved that is now.
