    I agree, it looks like someone screwed -134 adapters onto your -12 service valves. Try to stay with -12, nothing will cool as well as R-12 with the stock A/C system. On a lot of the cars I have...

    Sounds can be "sneaky", seems like it comes from one place but is really coming from somewhere else. Since you only have one belt on it is probably either the water pump or the alternator.
