After replacing idler pulley and tensioner pulley I confirmed the ugly loud scraping / squeal noises are from the AC compressor bearings and the belt slipping when the clutch binds up. It appears to be the clutch at fault. I tried to source the AC clutch but when I read deeper it seemed not to make sense to try to fix a portion of an 18 year old compressor. I just ordered a remanufactured AC compressor through Rock Auto. Although it is reman it comes with a 24 month warranty if you also buy the drier and expansion valve. Compressor was priced at $375 with a $45 core charge. A special order reman from Autozone would have been $525 and only a 3 month warranty. O'Reilly couldn't even give me a price without ordering and Advance doesn't seem to have any stores out west. Google searches also led to new units for $525 with a 12 month available through web orders to places like BuyACParts.
I hope I can borrow the guage manifold and electric pump from Autozone. If not I'll get them at Harbor Freight.
Damn lot of effort just to get to a car that charges properly :(
Jim, forgive my poor memory, but you did get a new harmonic balancer, right?
