Default S70 air conditioning compressor/clutch noise

This is a video of a noise my wife's 98 S70 GLT makes when ever the AC is on (ac or defrost)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=STRvrhvFDBw

its been doing this for a while but it has been pretty low on my fix it list since the car sees limited duty, ~50 miles per week.

what I am wondering is can this be fixed by shimming or replacing the clutch for the compressor? or should I tear the whole works out and replace it?

just going to dig into the whole system i am thinking i will have it evacuated and while its in have them pull a vacuum to make sure the system is still sealed then buy this:
