A/C Pulley Problem Options

[lazarpaul]

Two days ago my car started making this weird squeaky/winding noise from the drivebelt area of the engine. Today I took off the belt and I was checking the alternator, which I replaced just 2 weeks ago, and it was making a little bit of squeak when spinning the pulley. So I replaced that, as it had lifetime warranty but after that, the noise was still there. So I pulled that underbody protection plastic out and started listening to every sound in that area. It kinda sounds like it's coming from the A/C. Took the belt off and the A/C pulley has a little bit of play in it and you can here some crackling sounds when spinning it. The noise kinda changes a little bit when I turn the A/C on and it also becomes a lot louder if I rev up the engine.
So, what do you guys think? Is there any other way to test this. And if I need to replace it can I replace just the pulley or do I need to replace the whole compressor.
Thanks.

Anyone?.....I really need to get this baby back on the road. I could also use a how-to on how to fix it or some directions.
Thanks

I think I found the problem.......I looks like is the belt that's squeaking. If I'll putt belt dressing on it it'll stop for a few seconds and then start again. Weird thing is that the belt is about 1 year old and it doesn't have any signs of wear or cracks. What I also noticed is that the crankshaft pulley and the ac pulley are not perfectly aligned. Plus here's a pic of the crankshaft pulley.I need to know if that 1/4" space is normal.Thanks


PS: I know about the oil leak.
