[V8] AC compressor noise- help

[Buchholz, Steven]

... on #344 I have a noise I've characterized as a "squawk" which I'm coming to attribute to a serpentine belt which is suffering from a bit too much Pentosin drip treatment.  I've read here that others have had problems with bad pulley bearings.  If this is something that happened just after using the A/C it might well be the bearing on the A/C compressor clutch ... especially if it changes significantly with the A/C on vs. off.
