A squeal problem- '83 242 DL 200 1983

Hi all,
I've got an unusual squeal problem with my Volvo. In the morning when I first start it, it will some times sqeal for a few seconds and then run fine. Then for the rest of the day it will run sqeal free. But come evening and night time, when I drive forward it sqeals like a banchee when I do anything past a 5mph. I'm thinking the sqeal is in the neighborhood of the power steering pump or AC pump thing, but it won't sqeal when itz in park or idling. The belts are new and I have put some belt dressing on them, but it doesn't seem to do much of anything. I guess I should add that I'm not sure the AC works- it doesn't blow cold air. And I should also mention that I brought this brick back from the dead- it sat in my parents backyard for eleven years. So any tips, help, etc. would be much appreciated. Thanks.
