Intermittant noise from engine

My car is an early C280 (straight 6). For some time now a whining/scraping noise has intermittantly been coming from the front of the engine - particularly at tickover. I think that it may be from the ac pump or its clutch. Any advice or suggestions would be very welcome.

The ticking is most likely caused by aluminum heads and blocks. That's not the problem saviged is having, however. A "whining/scraping noise" is quite different from a ticking noise where I grew up.
