Default Accessories problem...

Lately my voltage has been reading low. When I try to turn the wheel, its difficult and the gauge will dip lower and some times the check gauges light comes on. The same thing happens when I turn on the AC. Also when I first start the car, I hear a screech.
The belt is a few months old. The ps pump is a reman and is several months old, it doesn't make any noise that the old, bad power steering pump made (not that I'm ruling it out though). When I turn on the AC I hear a slight intermittent screeching noise. I put in a new can of pag oil to no avail. I had the alternator tested a few months ago and it passed, I will have it retested shortly.
I don't know which pulley to put the blame on...the alternator, AC clutch, ps pump, tensioner, or all of the above?
Some ideas I had were:
-The rack has gone out, but that doesn't explain the dip when the AC comes on.
-The AC clutch has gone out, will that cause the steering problem?

I figured I'd order these from Summit:

Good idea?
