Think i Found the issue..
it turns out the chirping i was hearing under acceleration is due to Either the Tensioner or Drive Belt..
if AC is on it chirps or squeals.. and with AC off it's fine..
could it even have something to do with alternator??...any further thoughts anyone?

Highly doubt your alternator is causing any issues, the aircon pumps on these get noisey over time too and would imagine the extra load on the drive belt and pulleys from running the aircon would exaggerate the noise from worn pulleys and belt
