IME, the rattel will go away if you shut off the A/C (econ mode). That usually confirms the A/C bearing being the issue.
I'm not aware of a clutch type smell associated with the A/C. I believe it's a fully electric clutch and I can't imagine and smell... except maye burned wiring.
If you have a mechanic's stethescope you can usually pin down the noise by getting it right down by the bearing area. Watch out for the belt.
THere's a guy on Ebay who sells bearing and clutch kits if you're up for the swap labor. If it still seems to work, you can avoid having to discharge/vac/charge by doing the bearing and clutch on the car... but it looks like it will take 3 hours or so to do.
