Chirping sound coming from the engine cold/warm

Hello

The car is 1997 LS MX-6 V6 5-speed.

There is some kind of chirping/squeaking sound coming from my engine (left side).
When I press the clutch the sound goes away. (weird)

Here are the following parts I already replaced with new:
Belt for A/C
Belt for Alternator
Alternator pulley
Whole clutch kit with throwout bearing

What I suspect, it could be something with power steering or altenator? Like pulley for power steering or alternator itself going bad.. no idea.

Done of the cheaper throw out bearings are too stiff and don't turn with the clutch at rest, give them the slightest amount of pressure, and they will spin. While not spinning, the clutch fingers rub against the bearing face and chirp. That would be my first thought with the sound going away when you press the clutch.

The throwout bearing is fabric new :/ so that's off the list
