that thing is the ac compressor. i'd say the clutch is worn on it.

It actually sounds about normal, as best I can tell from a verbal description at least. Throw a belt on it and see what happens. It's not likely to cause any harm.

its like a ting ting ting ting soundi'd expect if it spun fast.. it would make a horrific sound ?

i'll put it on anyways since i need a belt..now i need to find a "suction pipe" that goes on the ps pump... aslgkja;slkgj;aslg

its probably bad by now. if ac compressor is not used = no oil recirculation= dried up seal and internals. remember there is a piston in there. i think ours is like a variable displacement type compressor.

but doesnt hurt you to try it out, though :p
