YOu also need to make sure your harmonic balancer (i.e. the crank pulley) has not separated. There's an inner and outer steel piece, with a rubber layer in between. The rubber cracks and the inner can slip vs. the outer.

The extra load of the AC could be enough to start the pulley slipping. If you view the pulley with a timing light, you would be able to see any slippage- you could also mark the pulley with White-out or something, and make it happen, see if the marks move.
