im looking at the unorthodox racing underdrive pulley set of water pump alt powersteering and crank pully is it worth the extra money to get the entire set instead of just the crank pulley? what do all the factory pulleys weigh?

dont bother with it. the gains arent worth it. if you want less rotating mass then get a lightweight flywheel.

AND, dont get the crank pulley anyway. it's not dampened like our stock ones, and will eventually tear apart your bottom end...

Also some negatives from my own personal experiences...you will get a rough idle, you're lights will dim at a stoplight, and it makes it REALLY hard to set the timing since the pulley is smaller and it's harder to see the hatch mark with the timing marks. Sooooo...just DON'T do it! :)
