I just swapped all my belts and checked all pulleys at the time. Take the a/c off (cut it) first as it isn't critical to drive. Important to check idler pulley alignment with crankshaft pulley (it can bend and be cocked - this could be one of the sounds you hear). I've found that the two bolts that hold it on must be tightened equally. Water pump and p.s. pulleys will be easy to tell if "grindy". I held a metal pointer thing to the center nut on the idler, p/s pulley and water pump to listen for grinding before I did the belts. How long has it been since you last changed belts? I do mine every two years regardless of wear - and change all at the same time. BTW, I used Gates belts this last time and all of my squeaks and pulley sounds are gone - sounds like a new car again.
