This could be a big deal so it needs to be at the dealer its at. They have the best resources as far as I can tell. The Edmunds info is quite revealing. Thanks.

I was probably too criptic in my analysis, so I'll expound. IF your A/C compressor pulley seized, and caused your engine compartment to spew smoke from the belt, and IF your power steering and alternator then stopped spinning due to the stalled belt, it's likely that your engine did not overheat, as you would have noticed the steering, and warning lights, and smoke quickly. In this event, there is likely no more damage than the A/C compressor bearing and belt. This is particulary true if you did not loose any coolant. If you lost more than a little coolant, all bets are off.

If the belt and A/C bearing get replaced and you carefully look for overheating and other problems within the first minutes of starting the engine, and find none, there are likely to be no further problems. On the other hand, a mechanic could also spend many hours and many more dollars looking for more problems, too. He might even be able to "find" some.
