Default AC Compressor clicking when off??

As the title says. My AC Compressor works great, ice cold for what a 19 year old AC design can do. Nice and quiet and cold when it's on. However, when the clutch disengages it clicks like crazy. It's loud too. I can hear it clearly over my LT headers, ORY, and Magnaflow exhaust. Again it only clicks when the AC is off and the engine is running. Very annoying.

This is strange to me. I'll be replacing the clutch this weekend to see if that fixes it.

Has anyone ever ran into this issue before?

UPDATE: It is the clutch, it started slipping really bad today and now when it tries to engage it's grinding sparks, ahh! This AC has less than 10K miles on it. WTF?! Oh well, new clutch tomorrow.
