Default Hard start and stalling

Hi all!

Been having some trouble with my 95 3.4 v6 Camaro (manual tranny) and I thought I had it all figured out. Over the past 6 months I'v replaced the fuel pump/filter, cat converter, plugs/wires, plus many other misc things.

Today I was driving and turned into my destination, and the RPMs dropped really low and I almost stalled out until revving them back up. It ran really crummy so I came to a stop. It died, so I tried to start it back up again, and it wouldn't start without fluttering the gas pedal while turning the key. Tried to drive it home and the "check gauges" light came on and then the AC started blowing really warm, then the power steering went out and it died while going 20 mph, in gear, pulling up to a stop light. I was getting no power and it was sputtering going 60 mph down I95 as well.

My first thought is the alternator/battery, but cold it sits at 12.6 amps (or volts whatever it is) Do you guys have any ideas on where to start?

TLDR: Car sputtering while driving down the road and at low RPM's, have to flutter gas pedal while turning the key to start, got a check gauges light. Help!!

UPDATE: I think I found my problem...pulled out the oil dip stick and my oil is light brown/foamy looking. Pretty sure I have a blown head gasket...
