No you can't take off the entire bracket, the delete pulley bolts to it. You may be able to run just the pulley with no smog, but since that is where the belt goes in to surround the water pump, it may not work.

I'm going through the same thing. You really can't use the tensioner by itself without changing to a grooved pulley. i think at high rpm's the belt would jump off.
The a/c delete pulley mounts in place of the compressor and you route the belt the same way it is now if you are using the air pump. You will have to look in the tech section for the smog pump delete mod and use the belt mentioned in there.
I will buy your bracket from you if you really want to get rid of it, I broke mine in half and need another.
You will have to play with routing the belt around everything, but you could do it using one of the adjustable tensioners at summit if you want to take off the bracket. You would have to put the adjustable rod on the alternator to tighten the belt.
