Tensioner pulley not putting enough pressure on it. Or a bad/wet belt. Where is the squeaking coming from. What part of the pulley system?

Most likely a bad A/C pump bearing. If you don't need the a/c rightnow buy a belt for one with no a/c

I've never heard of a p/s pump. Are you referring to the power steering pump? Or air pump?

If you just changed the belt and it's already making noise it's most likely an alignment issue and/or you have a bunch of crud built up in the pulleys.
