What condition is your a/c belt in?

This fourm features a lot of how-to work in a diyer section. I'd check there for W126 era V-8 belt adjustment/replacement procedures.
Yep, individual belts all over; this one is pretty new (40,000 miles though), and in really good shape in my opinion. The squeal started after I had the compressor serviced, so I'm thinking it's tensioner adjustment.

However, the clutch engaging in economy and while off is another issue I'd think would be isolated from that... I'll check the service manual for the adjustment though.
