With the car in gear, if you push on the accelerator and the car won't move, or moves very slowly, that could be a bad clutch. If the car will come up to speed eventually, but the engine revs up without much acceleration, it could be the clutch.

Take a look at this page about how the clutch works;

If the clutch plate is worn, there will be little or no friction and the clutch will not engage properly or at all.

Why would a 97 Pontiac sunfire make a weird long noise while the car is on but when the ac comes on the noise goes away?

The A/C clutch hub is rubbing on your A/C pulley and the gap needs to be readjusted. When the A/C is off the hub free wheels with in the pulley. When the clutch energizes the hub and pulley spin together and eliminates the noise.
