Default 2000 trans am problems

So I just bout a 2000 trans am that I thought was a good runner. So had the car for a day this is what I have so far when I have the car running the volt meter goes past 13 then fluctuating in between the 13 and I think its the 16, the lights dim on dash basically all lights dim the motor starts to run rough too. So I think that's the alt going or idk. Um there is a horrible noise on cold start up ill post a video I think it might be a input shaft bearing. The right window I think fell off its track. The left headlights is out and right marker light but the headlight and marker I knew about but asked him to fix. If any one knows what's up with the volt thing please let me know

Could just be a bad voltage regulator in the alternator causing the voltage issue, does it have underdrive pulley on it?
