the bearings in my a/c compressor went out and it makes the noise like to metals are rubbing together but i was just woundering if the bearings in the compressor will ever lock up were the pully will stop spinning im only 16 and i cant afford a new compressor right now is this something to worry about because im not really woried about the a/c or the heater as much as im woried about the pully locking up

You could just get a non-A/C belt and not route the belt around it for now. On my old chevy the compressor locked and burnt the belt, so it can happen.

16 yrs old, mark. Read the post. Cant afford it, man. Compressor clutch engages/disengages as A/C relay energizes. Unplug harness at compressor, run engine, check for friction by listening. If it spins should be safe. Should be (but it's a chance). Reinstall harness and pull out relay to disable compressor. There is detailed maintenance instructions in factory repair manual. Your decision is to fix it, replace it, bypass it as Ozric posted, or just pull relay. Check ebay for parts often.

mark's cricket, even if the compressor doesn't engage, if the baerings bad it will lock up eventually. best solution, re-route, whenever possible, until a replacement can be afforded. been there.
