I'm going to be straight up. I was quoted about $450ish to replace the bearing in the ac clutch and thought that was a little outlandish...So, my question is, is there anyone in NE Ohio who knows how to do an A/C delete, for cheaper then that.

Keep AC just replace the bearing on your own. Just need to pull away the compressor from the motor remove the clutch and press out the bearing. Will need 3x 3 in m6 or m8 bots and steering wheel puller. Rockauto had a bearing for my corrado but I did not see one for your GLX. Could change. Also there is a dorman Part # 34214 that eliminates the compressor without needing different belt.
I can check my spare parts compressor to see if mcmaster carr carries a bearing.

alright bud, thanks alot. what i might just do is bypass the a/c compressor with a belt designed for non-a/c cars. i never use it and, haha, i'd like to think it'll free up a hp or so

Well it will not free up that much just some weight up front and engine rev speed.
