And if performing the necessary acrobatics working in this doghouse to get belts off were a little easier... I might be a little happier about eliminating all of those possibilities when a vice grip pinch might have done it 5 man hours ago!
Yeah the Vice Grips would have found that radiator leak too. Vacuum leak will hiss, squeal or shriek.
"Screeching" implies mechanical failure.
Belt removal and hand spinning driven components is a mandatory inspection service for high mileage vehicles. If you had done this BEFORE the vacuum leak component failure would have been automatically eliminated.
Pack sandwiches and beer. As hot as it is up there, your radiator is not unlikely to do a kamikaze sword dance on the way home.
Big difference between PREVENTATIVE maintenance and BREAKDOWN maintenance.
