an underdrive crank pulley could actually fix it. The one in my 93 was noisey, but when I had the blower installed (with it, installed a smaller crank pulley), the noise was gone. I put the stock pulley back on, noise is back.

Downside is that it will also underdrive your waterpump and alt. If you just got a pulley kit with all 3, I think it might help.

Does anyone have or have had the same problem and know how to fix it?? I've already tried replacing the p/s pump in hopes that maybe the previous one that was in the car had just been run dry for a while before I bought the car. Buuuuttt ... no. Any help with this annoyance would be great. Thanks guys.

Hey man I have a little trick that usually works on those style pumps, What ya do is drain a little p/s fluid out, and put about a 1/2 pint of gear lube in it.. usually that will quiet it down some...
