I started getting a serious screech/squeal noise from the engine and I thought it might be the tensioner or idler pulley. I just replaced the serpentine belt last week so I know that wasn't it. So last night I checked out the tensioner and that was fine so I removed the AC belt and it went away. The compressor seems to be fine and the AC idler pulley spins nice but the AC tensioner seems to be rough. So until I can get a new belt to see if that's it, I'm without AC which is fine since I don't use it anyway. It feels like I picked up at least 1-2 hp!
