While the AC sounds like the least of your problems, depending on your definition of "blinking" you might see this thread:

Also, I had my tensioner break when driving down the road a month or two ago in m 99 PAU, one belt got the other, and I ended up having to get both pulleys and both belts replaced. I knew the sound when it happened, though(strange that no warning lights come on at all, one would think a alternator light would still be common place), so I pulled over immediately and didn't incur additional damage.

My first car was a 66 El Camino, and the belt came off on it, but I didn't see the light. This caused it to overheat and burn a valve, which lead to it running awful, and forced me to use some elbow grease and learn a bit about cars, but it was pretty obvious it had overheated since steam was coming out from under the hood (why I pulled over in that case and how I knew better with the PAU).

Hopefully you haven't burnt a valve, and hopefully continuing to drive the car with the problems you mention didn't cause more trouble and the fact that it got worse and worse was coincidental. As the previous poster mentioned, you might look at current threads, and you will probably get some responses from some more knowledgeable members soon. You might also do some searching (I mention this in case you didn't notice that the search button is made available after you register and sign in).
