Default Wierd squeaking..sounds like a bearing

I have a wierd squeak up in the front of the Engine..it does it when the car warms up.
I have LS1 Fbody accessories, engine is a Ironblock 408.
I've already changed the Alternator and Idler Pulley, I'm thinking it's the Water Pump or Power Steering about to take a ****. PS fluid is good, it's not the low fluid wine.

I don't have anything AC bolted to the Car..no Bracket, Idler, or anything.

It's def the Waterpump..it runs at 185* so I'm suprised aswell.
