Sorry to hear that. Few people know the supercharger has its own oil. It needs to be checked and refilled as the car ages.
There is a spring loaded belt tensioning device....you need a socket that fits the bolt (some have a square hole for a 1/2 breaker bar) you take the tension off the belt and slip the belt off the most convenient pulley.

there is going to be a tensioner pulley near the front of the motor on top that you have to apply pressure to or you can loosen the alternator and take it off that way,just remember how it came off so you can put it back on

SOURCE: can the bearing on the supercharger be changed sperate?
You can replace the nose with bearing. If its making a clunking sound you will need the whole unit. Check out some of the people that rebuild these for more info.

The power steering pump is only held on by two bolts that are removed thru the pulley holes. Anyway you don't have to remove the whole motor mount just remove the nut that holds the mount just to the left of the balancer. then remove the stud with a inverted torx bit. then remove the sleeve the stud went thru and then the belt will come off.

the broken pulley is more than likely the cause of the break and yes you need it or you can do more damage
