Well, I was driving my girlfriend to work when I started to hear this wierd whining noise coming from the engine. I turned off the car and it smoked a bit. Then I brought it to my friends dad (who is a mechanic who told me the air conditioning didn't even turn over or start spinning. I think the smoke was coming from the belt, but is the whining coming from the alternator or air condtioning unit?<p>Could the bearings in the pulleys be shot?<p>Any info would be greatly appreciated!!

Sounds like the clutch has froze up in the a/c causing the belt to smoke. Better get it looked at i know my 92 gs the a/c and alt. are ran off the same belt.
