UPDATE: Well, along with the aforementioned pulley swap, I had been having a Jetson's/Chitty Chitty Bang Bang sound that would come and go with the compressor cycling. It never really went away after I swapped on the new clutch. I figured the compressor would probably fail at some point but would drive it until then. Just so happens, over the weekend the AC stopped blowing cold. Popped the hood and I can see the clutch mostly frozen again. Pretty sure something inside the compressor is causing excess drag and killing clutches. I've got a new compressor on order. I'll report back after it's been swapped.
Bummer. Thanks for the update, it’ll help with people troubleshooting in the future.
 
Got the LX blowing cold again after sticking in a new compressor and condenser. I detailed some notes on the process below. No more weird sound coming from the compressor when the clutch is engaged anymore.
