Crunchy grindy sound w/burning smell

So this morning I noticed a ginding sound coming from under the hood on my way to work. On my way home it got louder and as I aproached home it was joined by a rubber type burning smell. Then as I pulled up the drive I also started to get a little belt squeak.
With the hood up the sound is coming form the top of the engine. I could tell the sound was not coming from the direction of the alt. (which is good since I replaced the alt just 2 months ago and bad becuase if it was the atl bearing they would still be under warrenty)
I have an 86 900 Turbo. The only two things at the top of the motor (where the sound is comming from) are the timming chain and the air conditioning compressor. Which is the more likely of the two to be the culprit? Is my timming chain about to fly off or are the bearing in the commpressor grinding themselves into dust?
Thanks for any insight!
