Belt squeal? 93 850 850

The car screams a bit when I first start up (worse on cold days). Once the car warms up (usually 15 minutes) it stops.

This is when I'm at idle. If at a stop, I will tap the gas and it squeals and then stop. Also if I turn the wheels it usually gets loud, and if I turn on the AC is really gets loud.

But all the symptoms stop once the car is warmed up.

I replaced the fan belt a while ago, with the longer updated route. I figured that was the issue, so I bought an original length belt (1623 I believe). It is quieter when it starts up, instead of squealing until I tap the gas, it now squeals WHEN I tap the gas. And if i turn on the AC, it definitely squeals.

I've tried spraying lube (of sorts) on the pulleys, to no avail.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.
