Good luck from a fellow NJer
Probably going to be another preventive maintenance item to add to the list

I should have taken a look in there. But man was that smell overwhelming.
I think I put S-belt #2 in there about 30k miles ago. Seems like a big hunk of tough rubber to cause that amount of smoke. I had the AC blasting full throttle to get the fans on after getting caught in traffic with high ambient temp. The coolant temp was inching closer to the 1 o'clock. About 10 minutes after breaking clear of traffic and pulling off the highway the fireworks show began. I guess as k9dbm mentions it might be the AC pump (so that's another device that has a clutch I didn't know about).
p.s.
Can you rig the fans to turn on without turning on the AC?
