whenever i blip the throttle on my 93 grand am, like a quick jab of the pedal, i hear this sort of clicking noise, coming from the front end. if im smooth on the throttle, i wont hear it, but if i jab it quickly, there it is...i was wondering if anyone has any suggestions for why this is happening, and any solutions to my problem. please any suggestion is a good one.....

Your engine mounts are prolly bad, particularly the 'torque strut' (the lower right (passengerside) mount) that prevents the engine from rotating for-aft.

As you goose the pedal, the engine is rotating a little causing the fan blades on the alternator pulley to shift backward enough to lightly strike some object.
