That parts list is taken off of a service bulletin that updates the mechanical tensioner (originally on the vehicle), and installs a hydraulic tensioner.

Yes, all those parts are needed, as it's a different mounting setup and tensioner altogether. If you are out of warranty, and want to go cheaper, you can reuse the original belt........IF it's in good shape.

If you insist, you can have the original style installed, but I'm not sure if it's a cheaper part.......the new style is better.......that's why there's a bulletin on it.
