Last month my alternator went bad and I replaced it and now my serpentine belt keeps getting damaged also when I pulled the plug off of the alternator the plastic housing exploded into a million pieces

Also when I go to start the car it doesn't fire right up like it use to I have to hold it for a few seconds until it catches
Also I went to drive somewhere the other day and I turned on the ac and the air was kind of sputtering I drove like 2 blocks and then smoke started to come out of the vents so I turned the air off and when I go to where I was going I opened the hood and one of the ribs from the belt was ripped off
