It sounds that there is an intermittent load being applied to the the belt to make it flap.---( ie. Both belts. ) Are you sure as well that the tensioner is working correctly ??---That a steady load is being applied to the belt all the time ??
It could be that one of the other items that's being driver by the belt is close to seizure.--Idler roller, alternator etc.

The only part left that hasn't been changed (Crank pulley, idler, tensioner and tensioning block, water pump, alternator, belt) is the PS pump. Maybe that has started to play up. I may put another on to try it. One thing that did make me think a bit, was when I first had this car the idle was about 900-1000rpm. I found a woodscrew through the throttle pedal holding the revs up but when I removed it, I could find no reason for it being there. But, now if I hold 900rpm, the belt slap stops. Hmmm..
