Remove all pulleys (v-belts i'm assuming). Fire up the car (briefly!), and make sure there's no squeal.

Then put on just the water pump pulley, fire up again, verify no squeal.
Rinse and repeat with all belts, to figure out which one is causing the sound.

Could be you're leaving it too loose, or too tight, or one accessory is seized. The air pump is the common one to seize.
