Squeal when A/C or heat is turned on
Have a pretty loud squeal when I turn the a/c or heat on in my 97 and I'm just wondering how to fix it or at least understand what it is that is causing the squeal any help is appreciated! Thanks!

Open the good and with the engine running, move the linkage for the throttle and listen for where the squeal is coming from, if it's coming from the front, it's the belt

LOL. You only have one belt. It may just be loose. In the daylight, look & see if you see any cracks in it. If so, replace, if not, tighten it.
EDIT: ODGreen beat me to it.
