Bruce,
Sounds good, fingers crossed.
'Noise' at the clutch/pulley when not engaged is not normal, unless the front clutch
hub is dragging on the mating pulley.
A) Unless the clutch hub got bent or is kinda warped (the OEM Denso is a vulcanized assembly, they can fall apart if compressor is old or overheated).
B) The clutch pulleys usually runs true unless it got bent or the bearing is shot.
Pulley bearings that have been subject to an overheated compressor or that have high mileage will make noise
For the air-gap between the front clutch's hub and mating pulley surface,
take 2 feeler gauges, a .015 and .031 (go and no go), check the air gap
at 120 degree intervals all around. Normally you don't have to add or
remove the air-gap spacer washers (shims) on the shaft step under the hub.
Enjoy the ride and stay Kuehl
