A/C Pulley Noise - Options?

Hi All,
Having moved from the lovely mountains of NC to the hot flatlands, I'm finally motivated to get the AC going on my trusty '87 9kT again (just in time for the fall, naturally). The AC belt has been off for 1-2 years at this point, but everything was fine before that (well, except the AC didn't work, but that's actually not the point here). I re-installed the belt, fired the engine, and it was very loud, not quite a squeal, but sort of an angry bearing noise. The belt wasn't over tensioned and the AC clutch wasn't engaged (no difference in sound when I did engage it).
I assume the pulley bearing didn't like sitting that long. Basically, can it be replaced separately of the compressor? Anything I can do to clean or lube it.
Any hints greatly appreciated!
Craig
