Squeal noise

My buddy just picked up an 01 trans am.

Sounds like a pulley is bad, but it makes the sound with no belts attached either. Any else he can try to pinpoint it to?

thanks

Well so long as you took both belts off, some people miss the A/C belt, then you need to determine if it's in the engine, trans, or flywheel area. Does it sound louder from the front or back of the engine. Sometimes engine bearings can squeak like that when they get starved for oil, or I suppose it could be related to the input of the trans. Thats going to be really hard to help with over the internet.

Hoping it's minor but if I have the motor out I might as well do what I want, rather than pulling it several times.

Thanks for your input and thanks Andrew for helping me out by making this thread.
