73 roadrunner
I have a 1973 roadrunner with 400 4 speed I have installed a march performance serpetine belt system with alternator and power steering pump since installing this system in spring of 2010 I have had nothing but problems with overheating and leaking of the power steering . I'm wondering if anyone else has this system and has any solutions

No, but you have to check/compare the fan pulley to crank pulley ratio you now have to the original. The fan may not be spinning as fast as it should.
It could also be an unrelated problem, thermostats do seize.
Where is the PS fluid leaking from? Steering box seals do shrink and leak over time, or there could be too much tension on the PS pump pulley.
I assume you have the direction on the belt correct on each pulley?
Just general things to think about and welcome aboard.
