The AC does not seem to effect the noise, I did not try and load the engine down with the PS but I have thought about it.

Perhaps tomorrow that is what I will check next

When going around the engine using along screw drive trying to pin point the noise I didn't think the noise was coming from the Power steering pump area. It sounds much lower but who know anything is worth checking at this point.

Thanks for the thought and reminder to recheck the PS pump.

I was almost willing just to install a new pump if only to cross it off the list.
