A/C Compressor Help Please
So about a month ago I get stuck with my car, ac compressor pulley goes flying off takes the belt and snaps power steering pulley in the process. So the mechanic replaced the compressor with a used one recharged and did the power steering pulley and 2 weeks later I'm on my way back home. I was stuck in the middle of no where.
Fast forward to today I noticed I'm not getting cold air through the vents and figured ok this is not good and when I pull into my parking space I hear a loud ticking noise gets faster and louder as I rev the car. Narrowed the noise down and it's pretty specific because it's so loud lower drivers side pretty positive coming from compressor. Pulley spins constantly I guess our cars it's always engaged not sure and it doesn't wobble but the the noise is there and I got no cold air blowing.

I will for sure in the next couple of days due to work I can't look at it right away. My engine when I rev it drops back to idle very slowly I think the tension on the ac pulley is causing the motor to rev and go back to idle slowly as well.
