Been too long I don't remember. ( and before you say it - No Age jokes Bonzo!)

Isn't the AC one belt and everything else driven off another belt? Take all the belts off and make sure everything is spinning freely. Alternator, make sure the crank pulley didn't walk or become loose, water pump isn't going bad, check the PS pump is OK.

I'd also clean all the pulleys, make sure they are glazed or any such thing.

If you are going to spray the belts, do it off the car and let them sit until dry. Never spray them on the engine, all you'll do is get glue into you bearings and such and greatly shorten their life!
