What would cause a squealing noise only at acceleration Started after you had a new battery and alternator installed?

You need a new belt, it has nothing to do with the battery, but rather the new alternator. The belt is probably old, dry and cracked so it is slipping during the acceleration period due to the load from the engine.

Why does your 96 grand am make a squealing sound when you first start it If the ac is off the noise continues When the ac is turned on the noise stops any suggestions?
Often it's the alternator. When the engine is first started the regulator may be forcing the alternator to work a little harder so that the battery can be charged quickly. The extra power necessary to turn the alternator during that time can cause the belt to slip and squeal. 96 GM vehicles use a tensioner to maintain proper tension on the serpentine belt so unless the tensioner spring is weakened, you may need to replace the belt.
