Have the same problem with my 302 on my 88. Changed belt twice,tensioner pulley, new alternator, new power steering pulley.
Try putting soap on the belt with the engine running until you get the issue fixed. Stay away from the fan while you do this

Sounds like the smog pump has seized up if I'm not mistaken.

Yes all of your pulleys should spin freely by hand with the belt off.
