well the main problem is that its a dodge, but the second problem is after I recharged the a/c system to 55 psi on the low side, it makes a nice grinding noise and smoke starts to pour out of somewhere, it doesnt look like its coming from the compressor but Im not sure because the grinding sounded pretty damaging. Anyone have a clue what it is, its a 1998 dodge neon

buy a belt for the same car minus A/C and bypass it

sounds to me the bearings in the A/C comppressor are going. Either bypass it or pony up the dough!
