If the compressor is truly dry- no lube mixed with the freon- its quite possible to seize a compressor just like an engine run with no oil. This would then either break the drive belt or pop the compressor clutch fuse. There are no oil level sensors or any other protections, and with rotary compressors (not stock) there is no oil sump: all lube is carried in the lines. The stock piston-type compressor does have an oil sump that could have been drained.

Just take the upholstering panel and access door off and look inside while doing the thing that makes the noise. The car can be driven with the panels off if you're careful with your right elbow. It may not be the A/C but you'll never know by guessing.
