The ’68 Polara’s first real shake down run

So I took the Polara out for a drive this morning, all was good for a bit then two problems occurred.

1) I had been driving the car for about 45min when the power steering decided to stop working. During the build of this car, a new (remanufactured) power steering pump was installed. It had been working fine moving the car around the garage and short trips up and down the street. The belt is new and still there spinning the pulley.

2) During this drive I had the A/C on, it was blowing nice and cold, to the point I switched the fan control from the high to medium setting. When it hit the medium setting it stopped blowing, switched it back to high and nothing, there is no low setting either. Would the blower resistor do this? The fuses are good.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks all!
