Puller not needed. You are basically just moving the P/S pump where the A/C used to be, it's an adapter bracket. You will need a different belt.

You dont have to take any pulley off.. Its a 2 piece bracket that just slides the power steering pump up. A shorter belt is needed though.

Nope, you pretty much are just moving that whole bracket up. No need to even touch the pulley

For me, the bracket went on without a hitch. I just had to get a shorter belt matched up to the string that I routed around my accessories for measurement. I matched one up but it had more slack in it than I was comfortable with so I got the next size down and all is well.

No puller needed.

Make sure you want to do it. I regret doing it on my car and am gathering the parts up to put the A/C back on. Dropping 20 pounds was not worth it to me

+1 I wish I had left mine alone too.

Here's a belt size diagram if it is of any help to the OP.
