the belts (gates, from NAPA) are about 9 bucks for the alt/wp belt, 7.95 for the PS belt, and 14 bucks for the AC belt. timing belt is about 45 bucks, and the tensioner is 64.
all in stock at your local NAPA store.
and all basically OE parts (the tensioner is Beck Arnely, maker of OE parts, for you ultra OE whores.)
the crank pulley is in stock at duncan mitsu for the same price as you listed. (they usually have three last i called)
if you want a little better price...gimme a PM and i will try to see if i can do better (as in jobber cost)

NC Sucks sometimes lolI will need to buy a few more misc seals and probably those tools you mentioned. I'm kinda getting scared at the thought of doing this balance shaft elim. kit myself.

Re: Pulleys and belts?
NAPA belts are Gates. most Autozone belts are dayco, or some offbrand, depending on the place. Advanced sells dayco (last i remember)
i have had the best luck with Gates, myself. of course, i do get some cool free shit from my supplier, a new timing belt book every year, some jackets, tshirts, merchandisers, and the occasional DeWalt drill set
it does come in handy selling an assload of their stuff 
but, i only sell it cause its stuff i use, and i dont install crap.
i trust my reputation to their parts, if that means anything. and those that know me know i treasure my reputation more then most anything.

Re: Pulleys and belts?
Ok I've gotten everything from AdvanceAuto and San Rafiel Mitsu, but not crap from MachV, its been a week and they said it would have been here last Wed. I don't think I'll ever order from these guys again.
Anyone here know why my stock oem underdrive pulley did not come with a dampener? Also if anyone thinks its safe or not to reuse the one that is already on my car? I'm not going to wait a week just to get a stupid dampener in the mail.

I was going to order those pulleys but f*k that, I dont want to deal with people who say one thing and do another. Why is it everytime I deal with performance shops, I always have some sort of a bad experience
ok now I'm just bitchin *shuts up*
