Just get the CTR N1 crank pulley. Me personally, I dont think the other pulleys do a whole lot.
The only down side to that pulley is you'll loose your AC.

It'll free up only a few HP's. The nice thing is you wrap through your gears faster.

AC is a lot to take out... but a lot harder to put back in
The belt itself is easy to remove.
as far as the ECU, just unhook your neg. battery cable while you install the pulley. that will reset it.

Yeah the AC can be a bitch! I said the hell with it and just ripped mine out. It gets a lil rough when it gets over 100 degrees, but I deal with it.

Do you know how much all that AC stuff weighs? (condenser, pump, lines) My car never had AC from the factory.

Oh, we did weight it at one point.
I want to say it was @ 21 pounds. I'm not 100% sure though.

Been looking for a lighter crank pulley myself. All the ones I've seen delete the power steering as well as the AC.
Does anyone know of a crank pulley that at least keeps the PS? Or both?
10 lbs. to less than 2 lbs. is a pretty significant (+80%) reduction in rotational mass. I would imagine this would be a pretty darned good performance increase for less than $100.

I have an aluminum pulley for SOHC that has all 3 ribs for Alt, AC, and PS.

They say the Type-R Pulley is the best since it retains the built in OEM harmonic balancer

unorthodox and AEM has pully sets for your AC/ PS/ and i think Professional products (those peeps that make the Throttle bodys and AEBS intake manifolds) they have a Crank pully for a fair price that makes power and saves a bit of cash
