Now it a pully was bad wouldnt it squeak all the time, and not just under load? I cllok and every thing lines up the belts look to be in good shape.
Be sure the belts aren't glazed, but I'll bet the PS belt needs to be tightened. Most people don't realize that the Olds PS pump has two bolts and a nut that need to be loosened to properly adjust the belt.
