Scott, do you know the reason for the coolant loss? I don't know why tossing the belt would cause the coolant to leave, unless it got hot or cut a hose. I don't think there would be a problem with the water pump. I would put on the new belt and fill it back up with coolant and start it up, let it run up to temp, and check for leaks.

Check your cylinders for any signs of overheating with head warpage, check your oil, and check your plugs. If that is all ok, just put on a new belt and make sure all the pulleys are aligned properly and the belt tensioner is ok. Was there anything else that could have caused the belt to come off? Make sure all the pulleys spin ok as well.

I agree, top it off, put the belt on and run it. The coolant loss was probably from the cap over pressure blow off.
Check your tensioner and pulley alignment.MrQuick ΜΟΛ'ΩΝ ΛΑΒ'Ε
