Finally had time to diagnose the squeaking happening at about 1100RPM. Squeak is there with the belt on, no squeak with the belt off. The water pump has 1-2 mm of play; I think the squeak is the impeller caressing the block.
The stethoscope tells me that one of the idlers has a bad bearing as well.
*shrug* the cost of owning a 21-year-old car that gets flogged regularly. Parts should be here after the long weekend...

Understeer: You will hit the wall with the front end.
Oversteer: You will hit the wall with the rear end.
Horsepower: How hard you will hit the wall.
Torque: How far you will move the wall.

Cleaned the MAF today. I’ve got a little vibration at idle and to paraphrase JFK, “we will clean the MAF, and do other things, not because they are hard, but because they are easy.”

Purged the coolant using Ahsai's old Rennlist compressed air trick. Replaced the water pump, tensioner pulley, and both idler pulleys. Vacuum-tested the cooling system with the Airlift, then added 5 gallons of new coolant. All of the scary noises @ 1100RPM are gone.
Right as I was finishing up, the wheel guy pulled into my driveway with the two retouched wheels - so I pulled off the loaners and remounted my freshly painted wheels.
It was 95 degrees in the garage today - I'm beat...and I have to go back out after dinner and clean the garage up enough to get at least one car in there (the Corvette - bastard leaks too much to leave it in the driveway).
The bearings are shot on the water pump, but I got to it before any of the impeller vanes broke.
Phew!
