The idler pulley is actually the larger one on the lower left (also the tensioner). Found this out earlier today when I went to Autozone and asked for the idler pulley for the SC4 (I thought that's what it was too) and they gave me the tensioner pulley.
The one in question has bearings (mine are shot) so it appears to be there simply to take slack off of a standard size belt as well as to raise the belt over other pulley's. It is not a fixed wheel so it can't actually run anything.
Having trouble finding diagrams that label each pulley.

Answered my own question. It's the idler pulley. Don't get the smooth "idler" pulley from autozone, others. It's the tensioner even though listed as idler.. Idler is ridged w/ shoulders.

Never would of thought a simple pulley would be such a problem.

Hope you didn't buy it yet.
When you take the pulley off, you'll be able to see the bearing
Any reputable bearing place will be able to match it up.
I'll be doing mine soon, if you can wait until next week, I'll get a part number for you.
