You will need a puller, and from what I have read when you run a taller/wider tire you should run your idle a little higher. Slowing down your power steering pump makes it a little harder to turn the wheel.
I would like to know how the pullies work out for you I'm thinking of getting some also. I have the race pullies on my 82 mustang the crank pully is like 3" and I it made a pretty good diffrance on how the car ran.
from everything i have read, it will take some time, but is pretty simple to do if you have the tools. here is a link to the how-to article on it. this is for an '01, but it will be exactly the same for you.

In my experience, results with the pulley changes have been hit or miss. I added the pulley mod on my 89 5.0 mustang and then took off the alternator and waterpump underdrives, due to overheating and undercharging issues. You're really not going to gain anything at all by doing it. You'd get much better results by swapping over to E-fans and eliminating the factory fan, butm thats just my opinion. (and I run a blown 5.4 with stock pullies)
