If the noise is definitely from the compressor your option is to buy a
rebuild or new unit. It cost about $250 to $300. Since you can hear
noise something inside is already very worn. Lubing it will not help as
most moving part is already submerged in lubricant.

Subject: AC Compressor Question

Greetings all, My AC compressor on my 87 Westy is starting to sound
loud, much like an un-lubed bearing... What are my options?

Can I lube it? or am I screwed?
- Thanks, as always.
Steve
