96 civic LX a/t.
I replaced the alternator a few months ago but the belt was in good shape so I didnt change it. When I use any electronics like power windows or use the brakes the engine RPM drops and I hear a slight belt noise. Is my engine Idle speed too low or do I need to replace the Alt belt?

Sounds like it's to loose.
Check it for tightness.
If it's old, or been slipping for a while, I'd replace it for sure.
I try and not go more than 30K on belts.:smokin:
