Did you replace the tensioner and idler pulley? Some people have problems with aftermarket serpentine belts. Dayco invented the serpentine belt/tensioner assembly for the Ford Mustang years ago. Their belts, idler pulleys, and tensioners are exact OEM replacements--I like their products. Also, check for any out-of-balance possibilities.

Is the vibration constant or does it come and go? The bearing in the water pump could be bad; did you buy new or remanufactured?
