Default A/C compressor question

I am replacing my A/C compressor and need to remove the pulley/ clutch assembly. Can anyone tell me how to remove this? Also, should I replace any of this assembly? Bearings? The car is 8 years old and the A/C compressor is hard to get at and I only want to do it once. Any advice is appreciated.

Shouldn't your new AC come with the pulley and clutch?
