Help! Am I killing my alt. & water pump bearings? >>>

Hi all,
I just changed all the belts on my '84 900 this past weekend at the same time I replaced my alternator bushings. I adjusted the belts loose to start out with, then tightened them up two nights ago. (I tightened them up because A/C belt chirped when I turned on compressor, P/S squealed when wheel turned when cold, and other belts felt loose.)
My problem is, ever since I put on these new belts, I hear a whirring noise whenever I rev up the engine (car stationary) or when driving and RPMs rise. Do I have them too tight? I haven't a belt tension gadget or such tool. With decent thumb pressure alt & H20 pump belt deflect 1/2". P/S belt deflects the same. Any light shed on this will be greatly appreciated.
TIA,
Micah in NC
