FWIR......when I did the plenum pull last summer......all appeared to be in good shape.....of course if this bearing replacement doesn't correct the problem....then I will have to look elsewhere.....I do have a kit to rebuild the compressor if necessary and would then be checking the clutch harness connector as you suggest......but right now I am leaning to the clutch bearing....you could really feel the difference between the two......so hopefully this is the answer......
