did you remove the ac belt first then see if the problem was gone before replacing it?
you replaced the ac tensioner pulley already, when you did this did you only replace the pulley or the entire tensioner bracket?
The bracket itself can be a source of noise. I would first rule out the squeak by removing the belt to determine what system it is coming from.
Use the search function on the forum to find more details.
It is possible it is your idler tensioner pulley or even an issue with your crankshaft pulley if it is wobbling.

Replaced both belts, ac idler and belt tensioner. Still squeals. Sprayed water on the serp belt and it stopped the squealing. Ordered a gatorback belt from summit today. I think I had a dayco on it then a duralast. Hopefully the gatorback fixes my problem.

Its always best to just throw money at a problem in the hope that sooner or later you will replace enough good parts until you finally replace everything. Glad I offered you the correct procedure to isolate this problem.
