You can get all kinds of idler pullies from summit, the auto parts stores might have them too. Depending on the size of the pully you may need a different size belt.
The auto parts stores carry all different sizes of belts. I am not sure what the smallest and largest size belt is but it seems like they have every size inbetween in 1cm increments.
I reworked my accessories 3 times so far and I never had any trouble finding a belt that would fit.

By any chance did you read my post about the constant 2-2.5hp that power steering systems suck down?

I need 35 horsepower to push my truck down the road. Cars should need far less, so a 2 horsepower saving deletion should get you a lot more bang for your buck.
I have read that the saving is so much that some small 4-cylinder cars suffer surging idle after the P/S is unhooked.
