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.

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
