my 97 did this shortly after I bought it :squint: (at about 75,000 miles)
Needed a new compressor/clutch.
Sorry.

thankfully it was STILL under warranty. Cost me $25 :D
The bill was something outrageous like $900 (Carmax service shop)

Try this

Before you go out and buy a new compressor, try to remove the air gap spacer on the AC clutch. I had the same problem and did some searching. Fortunately for me I noticed it during the test drive and they included a warranty for the AC. They replaced the compressor. But I found that many people have just removed a simple spacer and it works fine. Email Erik Lehmann (located under "folks who will weld your cams" in v8sho.com), he really knows his stuff about SHOs. He will explain the process. I think there also might be some info about it. v8sho.com. Hope this helps, good luck!
