If you are only air-conditioning the cab of your truck, that A-6 compressor is complete overkill. That compressor was designed by GM to cool even a big black Buick station wagon in the desert where the nearest shade was 100 miles away.

If the belt was removed, it could just be that the clutch shoe has bad springs. You can replace that shoe easily. I'd recommend taking it to several shops who can lay eyeballs on it and give you an estimate. You will be amazed at the differences in cost. Use your judgment on how crazy the answers are.
