Check serpentine belt alignment

It's not uncommon for an older Serpentine belt to jump over a rib so that it's riding on the edge of the AC pulley (the top pulley in front). It makes a constant squealing/chirping noise.
If that is the cause, just compress the tensioner pulley (slow steady pressure) and move the belt back in place. Then go shop online for a new belt, tensioner shock, and idler pulley. The ribbed belts don't often break, but it's smart money to order one while yours is still working.
