Okay, so my '98 3.8's air conditioner works perfectly fine. However, when it's not turned on, it makes a squealing/metal-on-metal grinding sound. The sound goes away when I turn the A/C on. Any ideas?

Re: A/C Squealing..
No you do not need to remove refrigerant to replace the pulley assembly. I think it makes it easier to have a good air compressor and a impact wrench to remove the pulley so that it doesn't turn while you are trying to remove it. Best thing would be to spend $10-15 on a repair manual and get the exact procedure. I did mine on my 3.4L Camaro, but it has been a while.
