A/C "clatters" when clutch engages....

Hi!
My (recently new to me) 98 NG900 makes a brief clattering/grinding sort of noise for about a second when the A/C kicks in - it's quite loud - not the normal click i get on my 9000.
I'm sure it's from the A/C as i've just changed the belt and checked the pulleys - and it doesn't happen in ECON mode.
I'm wondering if i need to source a new compressor - or would it behave like this if it was low on gas, and needed a recharge (it's not very cold!)? ...basically do you think i should bite the bullet and get a new compressor - or should i try a recharge first?
Thanks for your help
