Talking Re: Supercharger Noise - Take a listen
First of all there are some square ball bearings in there somewhere.

I would get a garden hose to listen to the sounds and localize them as to the physical source. You could also go to harbor freight to get a mechanics stethoscope for even better localization.

Another test proceedure is to remove the fan belt and start the motor for 20-30 seconds to confirm that the noise is due to an accessorie and not motor noise. I would do this just before I started swapping the s/c swap because you would already have the car ready to break down and it is an easy test to confirm the noise.

Finally THE S/C DOES NOT RUN WITH THE A/C. YOU WILL SEE IT ROTATE AT IDLE BUT IT IS NOT ENGAGED UNLESS THE CAR IS IN GEAR AND UNDERLOAD.

The video explaining this is on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9Exe2rxYgc
