Ok after some more reading I tried to move the compressor by hand grabbing in front of the belts. No movement so I removed the clutch plate (front piece), and there is still noise. I was hoping that removing the clutch would take the compressor out of the equation.
does this indicate another belt problem? Or still the compressor?

Could be clutch bearing if it is not smooth.
PEOPLE Remember this, the oil in the AC system is circulated with the freon. The oil also ESCAPES with the freon,, so when you run the system low and ignore it,, its the same as ignoring a bouncing engine oil pressure gauge.... NOT a good idea for long life.
