But back on 12/8 I suggested you consider the short belt option, which would have bypassed that center pulley.
Did you finally get that pulley off?
If not, the motor can be tilted using a floor jack and length of board under the oil pan which helps get a bit more clearance between the pulley face and engine compartment wall so you can get a wrench on it. Getting the new one on is the really hard part. After about 8 hours, I finally figured it out. To get the new pulley on, I worked from underneath the car to position the pulley, washers, and bolt while a friend turned the bolt with a wrench.
My car is a '99 also.
But if you left the original in place, then look into bypassing with the short belt. They've been doing it on 9-3s for years.
