My Car Is Squealing

My Car Is Squealing
Car squeals/high-pitched whine upon startup in the morning, goes on while I drive -straight/turns- for about a minute then stops (when the engine is warm?).
If I idle the car on startup and turn on the AC- squealing begins and stops as soon as I turn off the AC.
When I start up the car at night, there is no squealing.
Is this a problem with my A/C belt? If so, how should I fix- tighten/replace?
I have had this problem on and off since this past winter, it has not gotten to the point where it will happen every day.
Not sure about Engine Size... How do I check? (Misplaced my owners' manual.)

Which belt? I went to the dealer and they tried to sell me the timing belt, AC belt, and one other one (Power Steering?). Is it easy to replace? In terms of car work, I've only done tire swaps (with rims), brake pads/rotors, oil & transmission changes, windshield wiper blades. I have a Chilton's Honda Civic/Accord '01-'05, but it's kind of confusing when I look under the hood. If there's a good video of how to do it, that'll be great. Thanks for the help!

i would change the ac belt and power steering belt. there should be a drive belt that is connected to your crank pulley. im not fimiliar with the D17 engines
im guessing the ac belt is the one that runs with the crank and alternator

I'll go pick up those two belts and see if I can get my friend to help me with this little project. Any videos/advice would be appreciated.

your manual shpould have step by step instructions. not any vids on youtube as i can see.
this is a accord forum, so i dont expect much help here.
on my ladies cavalier she has a single drive belt that turns everything annd is as simple as loosening the tensioner and slipping the new one on and releasing the tensioner
