There's three pulleys that have a smooth surface. One is a belt tensioner. It will be mounted to a bracket with a bolt running perpendicular to the pulley, which retracts it, thereby loosening tension on the belt.

Leave 'em. You'll never get them to seal up right if you take them out, and you can flush the block once the thermostat is out anyway.
