Default 1987 ford tempo...plzzz help

idk whats wrong with this thing, of course as i said its a 1987 ford temp GL 5 spd....IVe replaced the alternator and the power steering pump on it but yet ever time i turn the wheel the slightest the battery light comes on and it gets hard to turn, what happens is that i noticed they bog down to a slow rate of spd and i can not figure out what is wrong with it.....As you all know the serpent belt and the alternator belt run on the same pulley as to say but the belts do run on different ones, yet the serpent belt does not bog down as well as the other 2 does....PLZ help...ive tryed everything and im in dire need of help.
