Its a 4 cyl theres two belts the one on the right that runs the a/c and alternator. The one on the left what does it run? Thats whats smoking and my a/c light its blinking only when you turn the a/c on full blast. Also my harmonic balancer wobbles something awful could that be a problem?

Something is locked up smoking the belt. Have a shop at least tell you the failure

It doesnt start smoking until I turn the airconditioner full blast. What is that belt?

Power steering belt.

If the harmonic balancer is wobbling, it is due for replacement. It can cause the smoking as well.
