Replaced the water pump, thermostat, and v belts and no more leaking! I found this guys video very helpful just in case anyone reads through this and needs to swap the water pump:

For Thermostat it's pretty straightforward anyways but if you need help this is good:

Smart idea on the plate glass, didn't read that before doing the job but I used permatex on both sides of the gasket so I hope that works.
I was re-tightening the v belts this morning after driving a little figuring things might stretch out and the power steering was making an odd noise sometimes. Of course the belt was a little loose so I tightened everything up but noticed that the new belts are wider than the old belts and the A/C belt rubs on the power steering belt. Whats up with that?? The A/C doesn't work anyways so I kind of just want to remove the belt but I'm assuming that will screw something else up. Is that true?
