You need a idler pulley to replace the smog pump because the belt will run wrong off the Alt without it

If it is because the carbon blades have disintegrated and have jammed, take it apart and use a needle nose plier to snap off the rest of the blades and clean the thing up. This should free it up. If it is the bearing, this obviously won't help.
