Keep topping off your coolant recovery tank. If memory serves me right, `87 and up use a reverse rotation water pump with the serpentine belt. Check to make sure you got the right pump.

Re: problem with overheating

How is your oil looking? No coolant in it I hope? How about the passenger side floor, is it wet? Every time the car is cool, top off the radiator and bring the coolant tank up to proper level. What thermostat did you use? Are your fans working? I like to use 30% anti-freeze to 70% distilled water and 1 bottle of water wetter. Does your car have the single serpentine belt? What kind of shape is your radiator cap in?
