well the stereo whine, si most likely the noise supressor, it bolts tot he positive lead of the alternator and then to the body of the alternator, any chance it got disconnected in the process?

the a/a, you still have pressure int he system? and if it's not diverting properly fomr defor, to floor, vent etc, it's most likely a vacuem prblem, there are 2 vac lines that enter the cabin right next to the battery, they are what control the flappers, if one of them got damaged in the process taht woud explain the loss of function
