The timing belt can be a PITA, but the S belt is only 30 minutes or less! Very easy to do. Just remember that the new S belt travels in a different pattern than the old one and you will be in great shape.
Also check the rollers on the S belt to make sure there is no play in their bearings.

As far as I know, the compressor bearings are sealed and not serviceable. Any AC shop can check out the compressor. While the S belt is off, or the tensioner relaxed, you can manually turn the compressor and feel for tightness or internal rubbing. It should be smooth and easy to turn.

Nope, the resistor would be last on the list.
