your barrings could be ceased on one pully. making it smoke because the pully that is ceased is not turning and rubbing against it making it smoke

The belt is routed correctly I took the belt off all the pullies spin freely expect the crank and air pump. I'm guessing the crank isn't supposed to spin unless the car is on right ?

Air pump should spin freely, so if it doesn't it could be seized.

So should the whole pump be replaced or just the pulley?
