i suppose while I'm in their i could upgrade the water pump pulley ( what does this do again from the one i have?) i i had one of the original beta 500 kits as you did i believe, But again, this has never been an issue and I've never seen the car overheat, ever or even get overly warm. Im guessing the new pulley slightly overdrives from stock maybe?
Basically not sure ill see any benefit from spending my hard earned on the above hardware upgrades from what i have now.
Not sure what to do tbh, would love your 2 cents on all the above, feel free to give brutal honestly, i need it, so .... go for it ?? or stop messing for the sake of it and enjoy??

The "upgraded" water pump pulley is only needed if you're increasing the crankshaft pulley size. This way the water pump isn't overdriven.
You don't need a new supercharger bracket, unless you're planning to go to a smaller than spec 525 pulley.
