Not really. Whenever you switch the lever to A/C, it sends a signal over to the PCM and it in turn not only energizes the A/C clutch, but it also bumps the idle up with the IAC valve because of the additional load placed on the engine. So the problem could become complicated.

The alternator is belt driven and so is the water pump but that is where the correlation ends. There is no way a bad alternator could cause a water pump to go bad unless the alternator pulley was warped. Then there is a small chance.
