but as for the removal (AFAIK) you need a new pully cause of the way the belt will run around the water pump

you might have to over-tension the belt to get good grip on the stock water pump pulley since it's smooth, but that's not good for the belt. Just spend the $100 for the pulley kit. I put mine in last weekend and it was a piece of cake, except for breaking the nut on the alternator(impact gun is a necesity).
