After in ac is running for 10 to 15minutes it starts making a very loud noise. Any ideas ac compressor or clutch or both.

What year? What type of noise.. knocking. ..ticking... squeeling? Since you mentioned compressor I'm guessing the noise is under the hood? Does it stop cooling when it's making the noise?

I would take off the belt first. Then turn, and push and pull the pully to see if the bearing/clutch makes noise or feels loose. Might be real obvious then.
