On the belt run between the power steering pump and the idler going
toward the A/C compressor, the tension on a brand new belt should be
about 200 pounds. That should just barely deflect the belt.
Pretty sure 1/2 inch is waaay too loose. That is the most likely
culprit. Misaligned belt is the second most likely--either will make it
squeal like a pig with an ingrown toenail.

Belt's loose likely. 1/2" is a 'lot' of play on a serpentine belt.
