I have a '97 SLE that'* doing the same thing. I'm on my way to autozone to borrow a tool. Cool to see I'm not the only one with this noisy, annoying problem.

I'm getting ready to fix it... I'm waiting for it to cool right now under the box fan because I have to check out the thermostat housing gasket as well. But while I was inspecting the clutch, I couldn't help but notice a bunch of little metallic shards magnetized to the pulley. Is that normal? I'm thinking probably... considering metal is scraping metal. But... is that gonna kill my AC?

Anybody have a ballpark range of what a new compressor costs, AND how hard it is to replace?
