No start in a parking lot. Could it be a/c compressor?

No start in a parking lot. Could it be a/c compressor?
Recently my vacuum pump started making horrible noises so I replaced it. Then a/c quit working and yesterday I noticed vacuum reservoir and a/c parts were all quite hot.
Tonight I stopped for some shopping for about 20mins. I got back to truck and started the engine. She started fine but after about 20 seconds she just abruptly died and now I have a no start.
When I turn the key it sounds like starter is doing its thing but engine won't catch. The a/c tubes and vacuum reservoir are very hot.
I'm working with an Edge Insight. I have no codes or CEL.
All filters and caps are correct and fluids are maintained.
For KOEO I get:
fuel pressure 65 psi
battery 12.6 volts
FICM 49.0 volts
IPR 14 %
ICP 0.2 volts
ICP 0 psi but climbs to 900+ during cranking.
For now i'll have AAA tow her home. Anything I should look at when I get there?

My experience with the a/c compressor is the motor usually has enough power to move the belt around it running, but the starter will not have enough power to move the belt on startup, it wil sound like a mix between a hydrolocked motor and dead batteries. You don't need tools to remove the belt
Also did you smell burning rubber? Look around the alt and the pulleys to see if you see black soot from the belt burning up

It does sound like it is. I'll keep my mind open to the fact that it could be the starter but it seemed strange that it started and then died after 20 - 30 seconds or so.
