.....and I thought u were supposed to loosen the bolt in the middle of the idler pulley (below the power steering pump) before turning the adjustment bolt, then after turning the adjustment bolt, tighten the bolt in the middle of the idler pulley, no?

What I've done recently is starting w/o AC and start driving and then engage AC...it makes the clunk somewhat less jaw-grinding.

Just wondering if taking the clutch of and have a look at the shims would give me some ideas...the AC is working fine, so I guess not...but really dont know what else I could do, AC is not my area of expertise....

A 'Click' should be heard when the clutch engages, not a 'Clunk'. There's something wrong with your compressor or clutch - which you should determine. Like Obi wan KEN obi said, have some bloke or sheila start the Heep while you check out where the Clunk is coming from.
