ac pump. id rather not buy a new one since i dont hace crazy money to convert to 134a
If you idler pulley is at the end of its travel, you need a new belt. If not, put some white lithium into the clutch then pull the belt off and get some solvent and emery cloth and clean and rough up the pulley grooves on the pump.
Make sure you adjust your alternator afterward as well.
