There is a spay can available at auto parts store under the name "belt dressing". Try to spray it on the belt and see what happens. It may be caused by misalignment of the belt and/or excessive slip, which would be calling to check belt tension. It could be a problem with alternator as well. Good luck finding the culprit.
Hi Jason remove belt and turn all the pulleys by hand there must be one seizing. And check the crank pully some have a rubber damper that fails and causes the outer pully to spin on the inner one. Good Luck.

Removal of the crankshaft front pulley/damper can be removed without any damage being caused to the cam belt.
They are a good fit on the shaft, I personaly use a lead tup, weighs 2lbs and will not damage anything if used properly.
Tap equaly all the way round the pulley, that should be ok.

It would be in your best interest to just replace the wobbly (worn idle pulley) trying to jury rig something will only cause you further frustration in my experience.

Could it be the pulley on the AC that's squealing? Use a mechanic's stethoscope to locate the squeal. If it is the AC, you can get a belt that is shorter, and bypass the pump, since it doesn't work anyway. Try some belt dressing first. When the engine is running, just spray it on the inside of the belt.
