Default Problems with my 94..

so earlier today while making a turn my power steering goes out, come to find out my serpentine had snapped, at this point it would still turn over without a belt. I replaced the belt and sure enough it wont turn over! getting a clicking sound when i try to start up.. and help would be greatly appreciated!

Assuming you ran it quite a bit without the alternator charging the battery I would first charge it up and we'll go from there.

got it to start but i think my ac condenser was the cause of the belt itself snapping. it looks as it has been rubbing and causing lots of heat.
