Get the timing belt tensioner pulley and idler pulley replaced whether they are bad or not. Mine failed 13k miles after replacement of the timing belt. Fortunately, I heard the strange noise and realized the problem before any further damage. Others have not been as lucky. If the belt fails, severe and expensive engine damage results.
Here is a link to a diagram, posted by Anders (Sweedcar), one of the best (but not the only) indy mechs that helps the rest of us owners with technical issues.

The parts to replace have the blue arrows on them.
Replacing while your timing belt is being changed will result in an immediate savings of about $400 (as opposed to going back in to do the work) to as much as several thousand if the engine is destroyed due to failure of the timing belt.
The V6 is an interference engine.
