The pully is for an air pump for the 1968 only emissions controls. On my 68, I cut the pully drive off the cam, and replaced the covers with the new ones, wich allowed for the carrera oil fed chain tensionsers. I know of several other people who had the stock 68 cover machined to accept the oil fed tensionser. It really depends on what you goal is with the car, and the amount of work you want to put in. If you want to win pebble beach, you need to keep the pully and add the pump back in. If you want it to look clean, ditch the pully. The pump never did anything for performance, and it is not likley to help much with smog test.
good luck,
