idler pulley question

so im in the works of gathering parts to s/c my le5.., now in the parts list it calls for the rebel auto worx custom idler and bracket..,

my question is, can i not just use the stock lsj one? ideally that's what id want to use.., or is the block different than the lsj and l61.., because i know the l61 guys just use the lsj idler and bracket..,

any input would be great!

so.., i looked up rebel auto worx, and the idler pulley is what one would use if they were to remove the s/c from the lsj.., so wtf is the list talking about. any one have any idea?

Use the stock LSJ one. It'll require a little bit of grinding on the engine block for clearance, but it'll fit and bolt up no problem.

You also need the one closest to the crank, thas the idler. it takes the place of your current tensioner.(pretty sure theres metric **** tons of info on this )
