Default AC Compressor Clutch Screeching

Hey guys, is it true that a low freon level can cause AC compressor pulley/clutches to screech?

particularly in a 97 CRV.

only reason why mine "screeched" is that it was loose

yes my GF would be a bad ass if she took the AC out of her CRV

I tried the belt tension with it loose, tight and in between. still screeches during clutch engagement.
