Default Classic S/C Clutch bearing failure? (Pics)

My brother is driving the blue devil right now in Wichita and called me a little while ago to tell me he got a low coolant light. Then he apparently heard all kinds of noise from the engine so he pulled into a mall parking lot. He then took the photos attached.

At first I thought maybe some kind of water pump failure because there's coolant spewing all over the place, but then I realized the coolant pump is further down. So after looking at a diagram of the front of the engine and a coolant line that runs directly underneath the "Electromagnetic Clutch", I assume this line got severed by chards of metal flying around. Then I did a quick search and found that some clutch bearing tends to fail, and I assume this is it.

I assume this will require replacement of the Supercharger unit itself?

Oh yea... 46k miles.

Thanks.
