My 01 xj's alternator pulley seized up so I'm gonna replace it but I noticed the A/C pully has a clunk-turn-clunk-turn type of resistance. It spins but does not spin smoothly like the others. Is this normal?

It's a compressor, so although I don't know for sure, I would think that's normal.

If the vehicle is off, and there is no power to the AC clutch causing the pulley to engage the compressor, it should spin smooth.

It did not so I tore it out and replaced it with a bypass pulley. It never worked anyways.
