They are the same exact part number, so if you're low on cash you can replace the tensioner pulley alone without buying the whole tensioner. If you can afford the tensioner, it's best to replace the entire unit though.

If that doesn't solve it I'd give the alternator a really good listen. Squeaking like you described could be the first stages of a failing alternator bearing.
Hate to sound lazy but do you know the part numbers? Or where to find them? Also how many pulleys are there that I need to replace? Is the AC compressor tensioner ever come up as a problem?
