just unbolt and away you go........ you must have to put the belt and one of the pulleys on at the saame time, i would think it would be the water pump pulley etc

my guess would be, you have been supplied the wrong kit, therefore its possible that the kit has been packaged wrong from the factory your seller bought it from, I would suggest that your seller checks the dimensions of your kit against any he has in stock. It shouldn't be that hard, never heard of different water pumps on an A15
