Not trying to scare you but I also had the black smoke under WOT and sometimes right at startup. Needless to say my motor was toast. Definately figure it out. my car ran strong with the smoke for about 4000 miles. Sideways set me up with some 500whp+ Porsche's and that black smoke turned to constant grey smoke at idle.
my car used to blow a bit of black smoke up near redline too. no big deal. thats just the ecu richening itself out to stay safe up by redline.
i dont think a failed ac pump will cause a massively rich situation. maybe your o2 sensor is on its way out. if a sensor gets clogged or is dying it will lkely read leaner, and the car will over compensate in terms of fuel.
throw it on a dyno and check the AFR's - if you see numbers in the low 10's you'll know your problem!
