91 Alternator Draining Battery & Wont Start

Hello! I've recently just bought a 1991 corvette and it had been running perfectly for about a week until I decided to get it inspected. I had a mechanic look over the car to make sure it was mechanically safe and to have a new A/C unit put in it. Since the guy put the new A/C in it has not been able to start... I've looked at many forums and can't seem to get it started, I believe that there is partly a VATS issue as to why it won't start however the other night the brand new battery was drained while the car was off. The car also blew the starter and when it was replaced blew again! I had a 3rd put in and the battery disconnected so it cant blow again but what would be the reason for this? The mechanic said that he disconnected the alternator and the battery held its charge so what could be a possible fix to this? Since all of this I have had the car towed back to my house as the mechanic has not been able to fix it... is there anything I can do to get it started again and not have the battery drain? I've already ordered a workaround part for the VATS system but I still need a fix for the electrical part of things.
