Do I really need to put the Coolant Pump Pully Vibration Damper back on?

You are describing what is known here as a "Frisbee" . Actually it was added to damp the A/C Compressor load. You can "toss" it without any problems.

Correct! I think I had my vette for 3 days before mine came off, and that was a year ago. No problems whatsoever.
