So it turned out to be worse than I thought they'll need the car for the rest of the week (brought it in Sunday). They determined that the AC vibration was caused by a broken belt tensioner. They replaced the belt, the tensioner, and checked the rest of the pullies, and re-mounted the supercharger by hand. But then they heard more rattles coming from the engine bay called TRD and they determined it not a normal sound so I'll need to wait for a replacement S/C.
