Found problem... um.. kinda
Well i finished replacing my coupler today, but for while i've had this grrrrr comming from the right side of my engine when i get in it hard. Check this out. When turn on my air. The very bottom pully closest to the pulley (the one with the outside disk).... The disk starts to spin ONLY when i turn my air, or heat on. Then it'll get going pretty fast.. the stop... about 7 secs later it'll make a loud click noise.. then start agian... Any ideas?

Does the growl get worse the first time you start it after it'* been sitting overnight? Worse when you're turning the wheels at low speed? I'd describe the sound the power steering pump makes as a growl, kinda, if there'* air in the lines or low power steering fluid. Might be worth a check, it'* simple and free

I've still got some air in my lines, I'm sure -- but the noise has reduced considerably since I fed 'n bled the system.

If your A/C compessor is going on and off every 7 seconds, it is an indication that it is low on refrigerant. If you have R12 (pre-95), it is expensive to get filled and usually more cost effective to get converter to 134a. If you have 134a, it should be less than $20 to get topped off. With the right tools, you could do it yourself.
