Oh.. and down by the A/C is the fan relay.
Noise is hard to trace. Even if you absolutely know it's coming from someplace
it may be coming from someplace else. I spent about an hour tracking down a small
buzz just to discover it was the button on my winter jacket that was hanging on
the back seat. :)

you bought one of American Motor Corp.'s last great engineering and styling
designs, which was done around l988, or earlier. Chrysler bought amc mainly
for its jeep line-up, and systematically began to cheapen and change it.
Yours is a relatively pure example of amc's efforts...with but a few notable
exceptions. enjoy it.

Thanks Doug W, I am still waiting for a owners manual, I changed the
thermostat and my Heater has improved considerably, The A/C is also cooling
but it seems it may need a freon top up, as it is not blowing very cold. the
pies in the engine compartment get very cold to the touch so I dont beleive
my noisy compressor is dead yet.
I will update on the clicking shortly.
