This is probably not worth it but check your oil (hopefully you put some 5w - ? back in it. Mark the oil checker stick with a scratch mark. Remove the spark plugs and put some wd40 - from a gallon size (at Home Depot). At least enought to cover the piston head in there. About an hour later see if the engine will turn over. ( spark plus still out)There may be a lot of oil spewing out if the engine turns over so be prepared for that and the possibility of a fire. If it is still seized up and won't turn over you need a rebuild. Even if it does turn over all the engine bearing may have been damaged. If it turns over - blow that oil out and replace the plugs.Go from there.

Usualy the tensioner or idler pulley is spring loaded and can be pulled backwards allowing enough slack for the belt to slip on easily On a 1992-1996 Beretta/Corsica, the upper engine mount needs to be removed in order to remove/replace the serpentine belt. Replace the belt, and reinstall the engine mount.

The engine coolant fan can keep running after the engine is turned off in any car because the temperature gauge is in the radiator. As long as the radiator is still hot, the fan will keep running until the temperature gauge says it has cooled enough.

The starter needs power to crank the engine to get it running. Once the engine is running however, the alternator generates enough power to keep it running. But with no reserved power (a battery) the car cannot turn over.

Run hot turn on heat run cool why is this?
The heater has a little radiator in it and it may be enough to cool a engine that is running hot
Why is your engine running hot without the thermostat?
the coolant goes through the radiator too fast to be cooled sufficiently. a thermostat will help get the engine to operating temp and the let only enough coolant through to keep engine at that temp. this slows coolant down enough to be cooled properly.
