I have this squeak coming from the front of my motor. The p/s belt is flaping up and down about a 1/2 inch . It only squeaks while down shifting and accelerating hard. Would this trick me into thinking there is a birds nest under the hood? And if I were to bypass the air pump, would it throw the SES light and will I gain any hp or throttle response? Im not concerned with emmisions.
Sounds to me like there is too much slack in the belt. How old is it? I would put on a new belt. You might check the tensioner also. I'm not sure about the air pump.

Yeah, while you're changing the serpentine I would probably pony up the little bit of $$ to replace the tensioner. I am making the assumption that had an automatic belt tensioner in '86.
After that, I would suspect an idler. After that, it starts to get more expensive.
