The motor mount, and possibly tranny mounts, are your vibration issue. It is probable your mount is floating around in free space in the bracket, mine was... and it is not uncommon.

I was not saying that the pulley is the source of vibration.... but was just wondering if it may be easier to install UDP while I’m there replacing the mount with more open space below, etc.

Not really, having the mount out doesn’t make any substantial difference regarding access to the pulley, short of having the rear panel removed already. But, if you are there...

A couple of tips if you go in to do it. The water hoses make the removal seem impossible to get the mount out. If you remove their mount, you can just wedge the mount between them. Be careful, it is possible to tear them. Also pay attention to the angle you need to get it out, and the mounts orientation to the car, it’s helpful when you put it back in. Wayne’s guide is very helpful too. Patience and tenacity are required to get at the bolts and get that sucker out.
