A/C on which sounds like the clutch but I’ve never messed with one so I’m not sure.

could be the clutch, could be a bearing.. while screaming does it actually work to cool the car?

If noise only occurs when AC is turned on, probably the clutch worn out & metal to metal.

Mine squeals when I haven't driven it in a while. Has a new bearing in a new compressor, so only thing it can be is the clutch. It goes away after a minute or two of driving.
