Re: 98 Belt problem
check the a/c compressor. Look in the gap between the clutch and pulley face for metal shavings. If present, the a/c compressor is locking up either when engaging (it will operate regardless if the a/c is turned on if the HVAC is set to defrost or blend) or when disengaging (the bearing in the pulley that allows it to free-spin is bad). If the compressor checks out, look over the idler/tensioner pulleys real good. Any that have the slightest drag/scratchy feeling when rotated should be replaced.
