Question Light Weight Smaller Overdrive Pulley Decreases HP?!?

Damn can't seem to stop thinking about my car and get some sleep. Good thing too, I forgot to ask you guys this question.

I bought one of these here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=38656

It's quite a bit smaller than stock and I talked to a mechanic I know that hooks me up... Well he's telling me that this may slow down my car because it's smaller in size and thus I would see a decrease due to lower RPM's or something. He confused me and I don't know exactly what he's talking about.

He went on to say the car was designed for the stock size and that the AC, and everything else connected to it will be affected negatively.

Um can someone please explain this one to me?

Like what are the benefits exactly I guess and if there are really negatives going with a smaller aluminium overdrive pulley.

This sucker was expensive, ran me $75 bucks and now I need to spend probably that much in belts alone and when I heard that from him, it was like a nightmare. :agh:
