I believe the harmonic balancer will commonly squeel (if failing) at engine start-up. You can mark a straight line across the pulleys with white paint, or the like and watch to see if the pulleys drift from one another while the engine is running. 1/2" should be fine for tension on p/s belt. Nonetheless, to check the belt, try spraying water on the belt and see if the squeel stops. Also, check condition/colour of the p/s fluid.
