assuming your AC is the same (Zexel) as mine, the answer is yes. mine was making noise when the ac was off. when the ac was switched on, noise stopped. i got another AC from a junkie, just for the clutch/bearing. put it on and noise went away.
then I did some research on the bearing and found a place (local to me) in michigan which made the original bearings for audi/zexel. unfortunately, the bearing design was licensed by audi and they were legally not allow to make the same. however, they were soon (at that time a year ago) going into production for a "consumer" model of the same spec bearing.
i have that information around here somewhere, but can't find it. it might be on the hard drive of my old computer that won't fire up. i'm not sure where you were planning on getting the bearing, but audi will sell only the complete clutch assembly (not cheap) which includes the bearing.
