were there any belt rubbing issues? if so, how'd you fix the problem? i heard an overdrive power steering pump pulley would fix it, but i can't seem to find one

Not shure what you mean, what is rubbing where?

Overdrive pulleys only include Waterpump/crank/Alt.

the tensioner pushing down too much and hitting the waterpump belt i believe. it retains the smog and moves down the alternator so maybe the alternator hitting the water pump.

The idler pulley sound about right just get the next smaller sized belt to pervent the tentioner from maxing out and pushing the belt down to the water pulley.

Also double then triple check and make shure you have the belt routed right.

Same problem no a/c. I added an extra idler pulley to one of the brackets to hold the belt up off the water pump.
