I would definitely get a 100mm snub idler. Go ahead and install the alternator pulley with the lower. Some guys have ran a long time on the stock pulley with bigger crank pulleys, but I wouldn't do it. Alternators are expensive. You will need at least a KB BAP, and some ported cars need 60lb injectors.
I can see you making ~520rwhp

Yes you will still want the idler with the 2.93/6lb combo. The 6lb lower will spin the blower pulley that much faster making it more possible to have belt slip than with the 2.95 upper alone. Yes you'll be fine running that combo for a couple weeks while you wait to get your alt pulley in. Just remember that once you get the alt pulley on the car you'll need a longer belt. So you'll be wasting a $45 belt for two weeks of use. Good choice on having Rick tune it, I'd expect between 520-540rwhp. You might need a BAP with that combo, your injectors should be fine but datalog just to be sure.
