I'd pull the belt off and spin all the pulleys. Fire it up without the belt and see if sound is gone. From the sound I'd guess a bad ac compressor/clutch. Does the ac work? Does it sound different with ac on vs off? If it is screwed you could install a belt for a non-ac car to get you by til you get parts rounded up.
Yah, completely forgot about that since I've only adjusted my belt once in almost 7 years!
