Re: 02 Malibu won't start after new serpentine belt installed

Okay, So I replaced the alternator today and the car still wouldn't start. I then replaced the idler pulley and the tensioner pulley, they both spun freely before but I thought what the hey. My next best guess is the a/c compressor froze up because I can't move it or it's possibly the water pump that froze up. I'm starting to hate this car. As I turn the ignition all the lights dim out as it gets caught cranking over and stops. It also starts up easy with the belt off. I know the belt was ripped off/cut when I first got it which would lead me to believe when whatever froze it ripped the belt off. I also put half a gallon of antifreeze in the plastic resevoir. Anyone have any idea how I should procede next? Thanks
