a few supercharger questions, oil feed/return, pulley

hey, just got a V-1 S-trim supercharger in today from ebay. it did not come with an Oil Feed Fitting http://www.vortechsuperchargers.com/...p=71&cat_key=7

-i am assuming i need to get the $53.95 one in that link, but i was just checking. (#1 hole is oil feed)
-what do i need to get for the Oil Return Fitting? (#4 hole in pic)
-what are the #2 and #3 holes used for?
-i am assuming that the pulley attaches to the shaft with a set screw, and should i be expecting that set screw to come with the pulley when i order it off ebay?

---thanks for any help, im going to a wedding soon and wont be back on till alot later.

I can answer a question or two...

Yes, the part you linked is what you need for the oil feed. That's part of it anyway. Then you can get a 90 degree threaded elbow from Napa or any good autoparts store. All of that then connects to the braided line.
Don't worry about #2 and #3 holes, different application.
You won't get anything with the pulley. You'll need to buy this kit too.

Number 4 is not the place where you put the return nipple... that is the place where you would put the oil feed line if you were using a clockwise configuration... so just leave it how it is.

Number 2 is fine as is.

Number 1 should have a plug in it just like number 2... I don't know what that yellow thing is.

Finally, number 3 is where you need to insert the oil return nipple.

i was looking at it again today, and i saw that in my haste i forgot to mark a hole on that picture that is above the #1 hole. that yellow thing is just a rubber plug that is hand-removable.
thanks for the tip on the #3 hole.
