so i have a 98 s14 that i swapped an s14 sr20det in awhile back. I wanted to keep ac so i kept the compressor on, had the hard lines brazed and hooked everything up. never put r134a refriggerant in it because the ac didnt work anyway YET due to an unfinished digital climate control conversion. now ive got some weird "belt squealing" type noise coming from the motor but tension on all belts is great.the belts are new and oem. is it possible that the maybe 50 miles ive put on the car without recharging the ac system yet having it connected has ruined the compressor and thus making noise? Any light you can shine on this is appreciated [email protected]!

have you checked to see if the belts are loose? usually thats when they squeal

as stated above, belt tension is good.
