Either that, its foam backing that has melted from the hot engine.

Try running the car and turn on the AC, do you hear anything, pinging or clanking, maybe the bearings are shot? Just thinking out loud here.
It seems fine besides the sticky stuff on it. Turning on the AC I can hear the clutch and it starts to spin fine. Turning it off I hear the clutch and it stops. While running it is pretty quiet. No strange or scary noises that indicate bearings are blown or any odd noises at all. Just the complete absense of cold air. I'm wondering now If its just as simple as a recharge needed?

Doesn't explain the two stalls I had Monday tho.

Edit: doesn't explain what the black sticky stuff is as well :P
