Default ac/hvac problem?

well i have an odd issue right now.

when i turn the ac on, i get a very loud annoying vibration at idle. when i first heard it i thought it was someone elses cars bass lol. then i realized it was my car makin the vibration.

i just had a new torque converter, tranny mount and tranny cooler installed.

the internal bearing on the compressor probably went out, if you keep running it it may seize up and send metal throughout your system which is definitley not good so keep it off...you'll prob have to replace the compressor and most likely the oriface to make sure there are no shavings in the system, flush the system, run a vacuum and then refill
