The new OEM idler pulley came in this week and finally found some time to work on the car today due to the President's day holiday. Getting to the idler pulley was not as bad as I feared. I simply removed all the bolts off the kraftwerks bracket except for the one on the lower right (when viewed from the front), removed the kraftwerks tensioner pulley, removed some of the piping on the blower, and I was able to simply rotate the entire assembly to the side. This will come in handy when I decide to go with the high boost setup.

Regardless, it appears as though I didn't order all the necessary parts. I'd need to wait a couple more days to get another idler pulley cover (3rd photo below). Here are some photos of the failed bearings in the OEM idler pulley. Obviously, the new idler pulley is on the left and the failed part is on the right.
