Wow, David......you're still using the "smog pump"!!  Seriously, you  can 
live very well without it and, in my opinion, your engine will thank  you.  
But, as a far as the noise goes, try using a 2 foot section of garden  hose 
(or similar rubber hose) as a stethoscope against the body of the  pump.  If 
the bearings are rattling, you'll hear them loud-n-clear  in your ear.  
Or......disconnect the belt to the air pump and see if  the noise goes away.

I  believe that it is coming from the air pump (smog pump?)
