Have a good look at the tensioner/ idler pulleys , if they’re a decent make they will have a manufacture date stamped on them. I used phone camera which proved what I’d been told but had no written proof, that they’d been done.
Aircon may be clutch gap to large, there’s an easy (and free) bodge to get it working. Look for sirob (cheshired5 on here) videos on YouTube.
If you’re able to DIY it’s not too expensive to fettle, but if you need to put it through a garage for everything it will be a different story.
