Re: a.c. clutch noise
Chances are you need to reset the air gap- "borrow" the proper puller tool from Autozone- clean out the threads in the clutch hub and pull it out to about .020" gap- then you should be okay-- what you have if light and tinny/hissing sound is clutch drag noise-- if a deeper growl- then it may be the pulley bearing.
The tool you'll need fits all GM compressor types V5, R4, H-6 families from about 1990 and up- so if autozone is not sure- you'll know a V-5 tool will work etc..
By the way - Your HT-6 compressor is right hand threaded- no need to change the clutch unless it is toasted- or broken....
