Re: belts squeeking and power steering pump stuff

Tighten the belt. Are you sure you tightened the belt correctly? Loosen the nut on the idler pulley, and then tighten the adjustment bolt till it's tight then re-righten the nut on the idler pulley. The belt should be tight enough that it should deflect slightly when you push down on it. If it doesn't deflect, then it's too tight and if it deflects a lot, then it's too loose.

Also a new belt will stretch out a little, so you'll have to tighten it again later on.
