Well, you have 2 options. Either way, that compressor pulley bearing is going to seize.

1. If you want working A/C at some point, replace the compressor.
2. If you could care less about the A/C, yank the compressor after making sure the system is empty and reroute the belt.

But, before doing that, check the belt tension by looking at the marks on the tensioner. If the arrow on the tensioner is outside the scale on the top of the housing, you need a new belt and that's why it's squealing.

"yup"

Start with the cheaper option first, just because a compressor leaks or doesn't work, doesn't mean it'll cause a belt squeak. In fact, it would "rattle" more squeal. More of a sqeak/rattle than a squeal.
