Belt a/c smoke smell, big problems...where to turn turn turn 200 1987

I need some advice as to what repairs I need to do next...how to asses it.
I just can't seem to get this car running and yet it carried me home 1100 miles when I bought it.
I can't imagine that that much was wrong ?
When I got home I started getting sqealing belts.
Gave up trying to get them stopped on my own.
Took the car into a reputable place and they replaced my Harmonic Balancer and Front Cam Seals. 500.00+
I got a long list of things that needed doing from them.
On the list are almost all the bushings and the A/c replaced, they said it was rattling badly.

I drove maybe 2 miles when the a/c belt broke in two. This belt was fairly new and not worn.

I spent about 7 or 8 hours learning how and got the new replacement belt on.

I started the car and immediately loud screaming noise, smoke, smell of burning rubber and of course I turned off the car.

So, when I changed that belt did I lock something cause it's not turning.

Is the compressor pulley supposed to turn when the car is turned off? How do I check this out?

I need some help because my p.steering doesn't seem to work without this a/c belt turning properly. I think the a/c pulley drives the P/S pulley, right?
Can someone tell me where to look, test etc... next and how to address it.
Should I give up, pay for the tow and have someone else do this?
Of course, Like most of us I don't want to let go of any more money but...
I bought this car in Aug and haven't gotten to drive it yet.
