Default AC belt problem...

at first i thought the belt was a little too wide and was making this annoying squealing noise...turns out i looked under my hood the other day and the belt was gone and my ac didnt work haha...
my ac compressor pully is frozen... i dont know what to do? it wont spin freely by hand. couldnt find which pulley to tension a new belt to as well..
any suggestions? am i gonna have to buy a new compressor?

First what year is your truck? What engine do you have? Yes buying a new or rebuilt AC compressor will be best. Junkyard is a cheep choice but you never know its condition. Your tensioner may have blown apart.

the ac would spin when the belt was on it and it was kind of cold but barely. it would squeak crazyy like and it blew the ac/clutch/ignition block fuse 2 times until i unplugged the ac compressor
