Default Pulley screeching on compressor/alternator side

I haven't had time to get the stethoscope out and check (it's cold right now by Houston standards) but what pulley (pulleys) usually start screeching on that side? If something has to be replaced, I would like to do all the possible culprits in the area.

Thanks !!

SPike, get yourself a can of WD-40 and spray 1 or 2 pulleys at a time and see which one(s) get quiet after hitting them with the WD-40. That is the easiest way I have found to figure out which one is making the racket.
