Re: Ac compresser
Is the noise there when the a/c is off? Or is the noise only there when the a/c is on?

Re: Ac compresser
Metallic grind sound with a/c OFF means the clutch air gap needs adjusted out about .020" Very common on V-5 compressors of that era. Can be done with borrowed clutch tol from Autozone- without removing the compressor from engine-usually.
