The belt or a pulley. Could be the AC clutch bearing.

Check your U-Joints, quick momentary squeaks are usually signs your joint(s) are going bad. Mine made the sound every so often when I bought my truck (3L 2WD Auto) and thought nothing of it until I started getting a weird vibration from the rear about 3 months and a few thousand miles later.
