In my case, it was the alternator belt.  The bolt that tightens the 
alternator has teeth and they had become warn out over 12 years..... when I 
had the A/C on I would get a squeal when I accelerated from a start.  I was 
certain it was the A/C belt for the few days it was doing it until the 
squeal could be heard when the A/C was off but the 2nd stage cooling fan 
was on.  A $3.50 new bolt fixed the squeal....
