For me personally, I put in a Cold Air Intake with a K&N cone filter first. Then I got Autolite 104 sparkplugs, a 180 degree thermostat, a smaller belt, and a 3.4" pulley and installed them at the same time.
Looking back, 3.4" was a little too much to be running without a custom PCM, even with the base supporting mods. I had some noticeable power losses and some KR problems in the summer time...but then again, I've got a 1997 SSEi that had 148,000+ miles on it at the time.

Personally, if I were you, I would go with a 3.5" pulley. I don't know how many more modifications you are planning on doing, but if you just want to do a few little things like intake and plugs and whatnot, then you really won't be able to go to something smaller than a 3.5" pulley without running into some KR problems. It takes more modifications than people think it does to run a 3.4" pulley. And a 3.0" pulley would be WAYYYY too small.
