Do you guys have the same air pump that our 5.0 does? It's on the passenger side and it sounds like a pump, because it is. :)

Maybe that is your A/C compressor. The compressor is on the passenger's side. Mine makes a metallic noise sometimes. I have a 97 GT.

That would be the Air Pump.It pumps fresh air into the motor on cold starts to help reduce emissions.
