Has anyone killed the AC compressor with a OD crank pulley?

[QUOTE="mdoan, post: 16443810, member: 44126"] I also doubt overdrive alignment is your issue - just throwing it out there as a remote possibility. If the clutch bearing is in a relatively early stage of failure it can definitely make noise only when engaged. Then it will start squealing one way when engaged, and another way when disengaged. And eventually it will squeal all the time. When the clutch is disengaged there isn’t a loaded compressor fighting it, so the bearings aren’t working nearly as hard. You won’t know for sure either way until you pull the clutch. If the removed clutch spins quietly/smoothly in your hand - and I mean practically silent - it’s the compressor. If there is any audible roughness when spun in hand, it’s probably just the clutch. For what it’s worth, I see far more clutch failures on these cars than compressors. Is this your daily ride or can you pull the clutch off, test it, and keep the car parked until the right parts come in? You’d be looking at about a full week from an online dealership. [/QUOTE]
