My compressor went out on my 2600 mile road trip 100 miles from home and i was just going to replace it but i found original auto air. My system has already been upgraded to 134 and had been working great until it smoked. Is it worth it to upgrade to a new compressor? Have any of you guys done this upgrade? Or should I just replace with the new compressor and leave it alone?

Yes. The factory A6 is great compressor, but they have all been rebuilt too many times.
The R4 and 6 are garbage.
I put a redesigned A6 from Four Seasons on my 77, bolt in.
If you had an R compressor go with the Sanden style.

I forget the year of your truck but this should be what you need just pick the correct year https://www.originalair.com/81-84-chevy-gmc-truck-ac-compressor-upgrade-kit-v8-stage-1
1988
so https://www.originalair.com/88-90-chevygmc-truck-ac-compressor-upgrade-kit-v8-stage-1. remember r134a is going the way of the dodo stock up.
engine change ? the first 1 I linked should work
I thought the compressor got moved to passenger side by 88. the 88 kit might be gmt400 only. I would do a little checking and maybe a phone call before anything is ordered.
I would be sure to call them, I vaguely remember those brackets. Air injection tube make them bulky. You could probably use the older A6 bracket style as well.
