Default Replacing all my pulleys

Well this past weekend I replaced my upper tensioner pulley... from there I am confused....

I need to get the AC pulley that is on the tensioner and the normal pulley as well as the upper pulley next to the power steering.... I went to the main listing of part numbers, but that didn't help me much when looking for parts from others than GM.

So here is what I understand so far: (I think...?)
This pulley is the upper pulley next to the power steering
This is the ENTIRE belt tensioner for the AC belt... But as I said... I just want to replace the pulley on the tensioner and the pulley below.
Is this the pulley for the A/C belt even though it says "main drive"?

I would have never thought it was this difficult to figure out where to go and what parts to get for a simple thing?

One final question... is this the belt for the A/C accessory loop?

Thank you in advance for your help, my end to squeakiness is near!

Replace the tensioners and the pulleys, and use a HIGH quality belt. I didn't have any sqeaks or any problems until I changed the belt and the pulleys, now at the top of rpm band it screams bloody murder. And I believe its because I went cheap and didn't replace the tensioners..or it could be crappy *** napa parts

BTW the links you posted ask me for my zip code

As soon as you enter your zip it will show the part. I believe if done correctly the tensioners are fine, it's the pulley that is needing replaced...

All I'm saying is that tensioners wear out,and trust me it was done right as far as the pulley install.As a mechanic I know better than to just replace the pulleys, like I said I went cheap.
