I would check the belt tension first. If that proves OK, then I'd still suspect belt slipping due to glazing. Take a spray bottle of water and squirt it on the inside of the belt when the clutch is engaged. If that makes the sound go away, then it's a glazed belt and you should replace it. If none of this proves fruitful, then check the clutch air gap, which should be 0.3 - 0.5 mm. I think you have a Seiko Seiki compressor (unlike earlier 240s, which had the Diesel Kiki.
