Yukon Clacking Noise when A/C is on

I have a 2003 Yukon XL, 73K miles, in good shape. The A/C blows cold air just fine and no problems with it. BUT, after cranking the car and putting it in drive, for the first 100-200 yards while accelerating, I have a weird noise under the hood that sounds like something is caught in the radiator fan. AND it ONLY happens when the A/C is on.

It makes the sound for 5-10 secs or so, and stops from then on while you're driving. Remember the playing cards you'd put in your bicycle spokes with a clothespin, to make it sound like a motorcycle - that's the sound!

Anybody experience this also?? Would love to know what your solution was. Can't seem to get the same answer from Mechanics on what it could be.

Thanks!!!
