If youre running a 195* thermostat those are pretty normal engine temps. Its designed to keep the temps around 195. As far as the noise maybe be a little more specific? The power steering sounds low or like theres air in the system. As far as the heat goes, im assuming your car has an ac setup as the majority did. Check the vacuum lines and cable on the dash controls. It sounds like the doors arent working properly.

The best resource for all these problems, is a factory service manual. They are available for around $75 iirc, and are better than guessing when you have problems.
