New Problem?? Need Help!!
Was checking the engine to see if everything was in line and noticed this pulley (the darker one) was not spinning once the engine was running...basically the belt is skuffing that area up on the pulley...would this have anything to do with the heater core not working??

If your heater gives you heat, then no. If you have a locked pulley I would change that ASAP. That one appears to just be an idler pulley.
Replacing the heater core can range from $600-1100 at a shop. It would not affect the AC.
Replacing the core yourself can take 1 weekend, with a new core running less than $100.
