.....I would also suggest that you sort out your temperature gauge.......and you'll probably want to change the oil, 'cause you may have cooked it..........
Hope it works out well for you.......

I hope that is what happened because would probably be the easiest thing to fix.

It does have an ac compressor on it. I bought a serpentine conversion from march. Im pretty sure the pulley clears, but its all worth checking. Thanks again for all the advice, Ill have a word with the mech tomorrow and keep you all posted, I sure am glad I told him about the gauge not working after some of your posts, I dont feel quite so bad anymore! Cheers.

Fill it and start it and let it idle...you prob got lucky
