Noise not from supercharger, but compressor
I took a closer look at the noise (clacking) at idle.
It seems to be loudest around the A/C compressor.
My Runner has about 67k miles on it.
It would be odd for the compressor to start giving out this early.
Any ideas?

What does a water pump that's going south sound like?
There's a bit of grinding noise coming from the a/c compressor or water pump area.

It's definitely from the AC compressor.
The noise disappeared before my road trip (1200+ miles) over the winter break. I found out on the road trip that the AC belt had shredded apart. No wonder I couldn't hear the noise anymore. Fortunately, heat was in need more than AC on the snowboard trip.
Before I replace the belt, I'd like to know what may be wrong with the AC compressor. It's chattering and it may be the magnetic clutch. If so, can I rebuild it and how difficult is the rebuild?
AC compressors are not cheap.
