2003 Saturn L200 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic

My 2003 Saturn L200 has experienced a series of unfortunate and expensive events. The new problem is Air Conditioning, over the past month when I turn on my AC I hear a brief squeal, but the AC works. As of yesterday afternoon, I was leaving work and turned on the AC and I was greeted with a continuous squeal and the AC did not work. I admit, I did drive for about 10 minutes with the squeal just to make sure it was the AC. I finally shut off the AC and left the blower on, noise discontinued. I had my husband check the fluid and the pressure on the AC, all good. I tested again the AC again this morning with the same squealing result, I shut off the AC left the blower on and turned the blower knob to feet, and I receive the same squeal. The blower usually stays on face or halfway between face and feet. What do I need to replace to discontinue the squeal and to have a working AC again?

Hi
Open hood engine running AC on do you see compressor clutch rotating? Squeal is belt slipping on pully. Either belt needs replacing or AC compressor is locking up.
Let me know
