She’s up and running now!! New alternator, new belt, new injectors, all new relays, spark plugs and wires, cap and rotor, new starter wire to battery, and doing well.
My reason for the thread though, there’s a rattle sound coming from the a/c compressor and radiator fan area, but no idea on the cause. Im thinking the fan is just old as **** and needs to be swapped out?

Take the belt off. Run it for a few minutes and see if it still clatters. While the belt is off, spin the accessories (engine OFF!!). Do they feel smooth? Put the belt back on, make sure it's tensioned correctly, turn the AC on. Does the sound change?
