spray wd40 in the clutch where the bearings are, they are probably a little rusty. do that a couple of times until noise stops, be careful not to get any on the pulley and belts.

Do you need two jumpers from your outdoor condensor compressor to the start capacitor if you only have one and does it need 220 or 120 if it is a 40mfd rated for 330v?
Do you have a dual capacitor that starts both the compressor and the fan motor? You need 230V to power the compressor. You should have one wire from the capacitor going from the start terminal on the compressor and one going from the common terminal to common on the capacitor.
What is the function of Compressor Start relay?
the start relay helps the compressor start up then takes itself out of play when the compressor gets going. The older units will have a capacitor and a relay mounted in the control panel and the new ones are all in one...you just parallel the run capacitor.
Will the wrong size battery cause sluggish start in 1999 Malibu?
Not really as long as you have the correct size 12 volt battery the CCA rating will not effect the batteries initial ability to start the engine. It may not be able to turn the engine over as long as a higher rated battery but it will start the engine if all is as it should be. A sluggish start sounds like you may have a starter going bad.
When my thermostat is on and my AC has not kicked on yet. There is a buzzing sound coming from my condinsor unit. Is this normal?
The compressor capacitor probably is going bad, or maybe the compressor will need a start capacitor and a potential relay.
When you accelerate your car squeals and squealing gets faster as you increase speed?

Is there a fuse under the hood for the AC compressor on a 1999 Mercury Villager that would cause the compressor not to start when the AC is turned on?
Besides fuses,there are relays that activate this compresorm most of them located under the hood; however, most of the compresors have a pressure control switch, if you have a small loss of refrigerant, eventually it is going to loose pressure an your compressor will not start to prevent compressor damage. Evacuate the system and refill with the correct amont of refrigerant.

What would cause the ac pump to start squealing and then blow the low pressure valve evacuating all of the coolant into the cab?
Your compressor is going out. Probably you threw a piston in the compressor or the bearings in your clutch went out. If you put freon in before this happened you overfilled it and blew the seals.
