Are there any problems with having two harddrives? Both would be Arch linux and no other os's on my computer.

I have three drives (and a cdrom of course) on my desktop and Arch is fine, just take care about your partitions
Excessive showering, grooming, and toothbrushing is not only vain, it wastes valuable coding time.

Do you mean two seperated archlinux installations or one archlinux on two disks?

Two separate arch installations.
I have one harddrive which has some errors. I would like to put that hard drive on another box. Would i have problems accessing data off of the old hard drive if i booted off of the new hd?

Does the old drive make loud clunking, chugging, or grinding noises?

I would save the grub config of the first installed arch, as I think you might install grub in the mbr of the first disk. Install the second arch version (testing / unstable I guess?) and overwrite grub. Add the settings of the first installation to the grub menu, I guess that will do.
Or, if you know how to do, add the settings for the second installation just when preparing the first grub settings, finish the installation, reboot from cd, install the second one until you have to install a bootloader and don't install grub. Arch will mock but should be fine with it, too.
Use at own risk, this is only a draft.
