When you change the pump and thermo it should be good. Just make sure you bleed the system after the change. If you're doing it yourself look at YouTube to find a how to on the bleeding procedure. Ensure you car is hooked up to a battery or the battery is fully charged.
all three replced
Heater xchange valve
Water pump
Themo

Couldn't really understand what you were saying. Are you saying you changed those parts and afterwards you did a self bleed or did you let the car do the bleed by triggering it?
After you did the bleed you're only getting heat and no a/c. If so redo the bleed procedure and make sure your exchange is hooked up correctly and working.

No you need to perform the bleed procedure to get all the air pockets out. That is why you're not getting heat while idle
