Need Help: Car struggles at Startup

Hey guys,
I recently installed some greddy pulleys and took out the airpump. Now my car struggles at startup and one time started up and then died right after. If it does startup it idles pretty rough. THe time where it died, i started it up again and reved up on the gas pedal to keep it alive and then drove off. The thing is, it boosted fine and was ok after it started moving. I'm just wondering whats wrong and if you guys have any suggestions? ( Btw i have a powerfc- do i have to tune anything on the powerfc after i install the pulleys and take out the airpump) Any suggestions would help. Thanks a lot, and hope to hear from you guys soon.

You may be running richer without the airpump. Try leaner out the idle a litter bit and see how it idles.
