ive searched the forums about the squeaky belt. its the ac compressor and alternator one (i took out my ac compressor). i just put the ac delete belt on about a week ago. and it just started squeaking yesterday. it was a little loose so i re-tightened it down. i cannot figure this out ive down everything the forums said. any advice would be very helpful. Thanks Josh.

Make sure you don't over tighten the belt. That squeeking MAY be coming from your Crank Pulley. I had one seperate on me and it was causing my alternator to not charge properly (along with a squeal, much like belt squeal). I swapped out the alternator 3 times before I found out that the pulley was seperating.

yeah if you overtighten...it can make the bearings in there make noise. spray with lube while car is running. if noise stops it's prolly the belt. if it's still there it's prolly a pully of some kind
