Cold weather?
Check your belts. Maybe even the air pump

Hmmm, it's not the belt. We'll have to find the pump locale and see where it squeals with the hood open. I just can't see why the pump would only squeel when I let out the clutch and start moving.

I read above but...honestly, it sounds like a belt. Tighten the tensioner a bit and see what happens.

It will only squeal when you start driving because there is load on the engine and it changes the forces on the belt...

sounds like transmission related.
