Ok so I replaced the water pump I still have the grinding noise with the belt hooked up but when I unhook alt belt there is no noise should I replace the altenator and fan clutch

looks like i pin pointed the problem to being the alternator bearing mixed in with a handfull of belt dust that was inside the alt lol i love neglected cars. now the alt is not charging the battery after i dropped it time for a new one..

I am glad that it was just the water pump. It looks like I jumped the gun there on the diagnosis.
Hopefully you can get it in good running order by spring.

If i can suggest something, when you flush it, try that waterwetter stuff. I tried it, and my temp very rarely raises past 180. stock radiator, oem thermostat and a front mount blocking the radiator. it really helped with my running hot problem.
