My Car is a 1998 Honda Civic. One mechanic told me it was the AC Compressor/Dyer. The squealing noise goes with the engine, that is, if i press the accelerator, the frequency of the squealing increases, and slows with the engine.

take some vaseline and rub it all over the exposed parts of your drive belt, your problem is one that we share, a dry belt. I have a 96 altima and that is how I fix it. Don't use a liquid lubricant because the belt spins too fast and will just throw it off. You can also use grease. A lot of times I use some grease from an old model train set and it works as well.

Usually belt squalls will go away with higher engine speeds. Yes, it could be the a/c but it would be the clutch assembly if it is. This will spin even if the a/c is turned off.
It could be any of the components under the hood. You need to try and localize it if you can. But if I had to guess I would look and the idle tension pulley. This is what will keep your belts tight at all times. It will be spring loaded and look like it has no purpose but to let the belt roll over it. Take a can of WD-40 and use the little red tube that come with it and spray all of these spots one at a time so you will find which one is bad. Do not spray it on the belt until last so you can eliminate it also. WD-40 will eventually dry up and be gone off the belt.

This would likely be a loose belt or faulty bearings in the alternator. You need to isolate the source of the sound. The belt, I'd guess.
