What I think you are referring to is the pulley for the A/C compressor.
The pulley goes around any time the engine is running, however, the "clutch" just locks up when the compressor is told to run.
Sometimes the belt will squeak at that point, especially when the compressor just comes on.
I suggest you start the car, turn OFF the A/C, look at that unit, see if the "clutch" (the inner part of the pulley) is turning - it should NOT be.
Now turn on the A/C on high and look at the pulley, the inner part (the clutch) should be turning.
Come back.
