Broke the Belt

Broke the Belt
It turns out that the engine knock that I thought I was hearing was actually the idler pulley about to die. It did just that on the way home last night taking out the belt and scratching up the blower housing in the mean time.
I've got it in the garage now and it took all of 10 minutes to get the pulley off. While I was researching replacements, I noticed that with the blower, the mounting bracket and pulley have been turned around and now face the rear of the car.
Do I need to replace the bracket as well or is it ok just to replace the pulley? Along those lines, is the pulley a Vortech part or would it be a stock part?
