Mechanical Issue

Hey I'm new to the forum, and I purchased a really nice 1992 SC300 for a bit over 8 (talked him down since I posted in the newbie section) and I'm having some strange things happening to it. When I have my lights on, there is a tapping noise from the front of the engine which Is from the Belt Tensioner which is rocking to and from making a clicking noise. There is also a funky squeak that squeaks until I push down the clutch a little bit. Is that just a belt? I can't really determine the exact location of the squeak so I was wondering if I'm just fretting something and its only the tensioner? Any help would be great. Ill post pictures and a movie tomorrow afternoon when its light outside.

The noise from the motor when the lights are on????? The squeak that is fixed bu touching the cluch. That sounds like a throw-out bearing for your clutch.
