The only thing I can think of that you may have disconnected is the ground strap that goes between the front right strut tower and the rear stud that goes between the timing cover and the top engine mount. It's been a few years since I performed this repair on a previously owned 2000 SC2 so I could be wrong, but I remember needing to remove the top engine mount to gain access to the idler pulley.
