On my 87 I had to purchase a new smog air pump and change the pulley over to the new unit. The pulley bolts to the pump and the bearing that is giving you trouble located inside the pump. The pump is a non servicable item. I bought the replacement pump from advance auto, its a rebuilt unit from carbone.
Hope this helps

The rear bearing can be replaced. Removing the back cover gives you direct access to it. It pulls out and presses in. Also, the internal air fins in there can also be a source of noise. Those too can also be removed from behind after you take out the rear bearing. The front bearing did not appear to be replaceable when I had mine taken apart.
That pulley in the link does not even resemble anything on this pump to me.

My smog pump is also making noise. The FSM says they are sealed and are not serviceable. I bought a new (rebuilt) smog pump from Napa yesterday.
