It gets A LOT worse when the A/C is putting a load on it.
The tensioner isn't bouncing near as much with the new belt luckily.
Can I just swap out the pulley/bearing combo without replacing the entire tensioner?
I'm thinking this is all I need, what do you think?

You can do the pulley "off the shelf" at "ANY" of your local auto parts stores. There's no need for anything other than if that's your only issue. You might consider the rebuild for an "off-season" maintenance procedure.
If you want to get really frugal I believe you could do the bearing only!
