go to a junk yard and buy a compressor off a wrecked car. With hand tools you can replace the frozen compressor with the one from the wrecked car. Then you can drive the car with out A/C but the fan belt will work fine.
I did that to a Sentra.

1 find a good private shop [not dealer] but check with dealer parts dept to see if they have AC bypass kit
2 bypass will cost a few hundred...you may have to find a junkyard envoy that came with no AC,,it is rare..
3 my advice..suck it up get it fixed
4 as a non mechanic your gona pay one way or other..sorry

Before you get all worked up, can you post back and let us know if your A/C clutch is making noise or the bearing??? Post back, and if it's not your bearing, that's good news.
