Default worn bearing noise

I just did a timing belt/ balance shaft job and clutch job on the 85 44. I did the timing belt job because I broke the belts while doing clutch job. And I started the car and there was a loud noise from the timing belt area because it was a belt that was too tight. Well I loosend the belt and there is this worn bearing noise coming from the somewhere around the engine. And if someone could help me diagnose the noise that would be great? Or sugestions to what could be wrong.

Nevermind found out the cause of the problem. A bolt worked its way loose a few threads that holds on the AC compressor. I overtightened the belts so I will have to loosen them a little bit tomorrow.
