Unorthodox is complete and high quality but expensive and the main pulley is dangerous to replace on a FD unless you have the motor out.

GReddy makes some blue pulleys for the water pump and alternater while removing the air pump. Not much gain from underdriving these accessories but this kit is popular. I would NOT recommend removing the air pump if your mostly stock

Personally I would recommend getting the $50 (aluminum finish) Ebay accessory pulleys which I have and mine work well. I would recommend the http://www.rotaryextreme.com main pulley because I like the design where the bolts don't stick out and are shorter while making the whole pulley lighter. I like the aluminum finish too. You might find a main pulley in the for sale section just stay away from the Unorthodox.

No need to fear the pully anymore. Unorthodox has a new style main pully that doesn't require you to pull the front hub. It attaches just like the Rotary Extreme pully.
