I'm pretty sure the bushing is for when the driver is under load and the belt has pulled down into the Low range of initial acceleration. at idle, the belt should just sort of bump and hang just above the shaft/bushing without grabbing.

As far as adjustment goes, if you need to change the C-2-c of the driver/driven pulleys, you need to loosen the jackshaft AND engine mount bolts and shift the jackshaft back. A lot of times, there's very little room to do so. You have to be careful with the realignment of the pulleys, beign a little off will chew up a belt pretty fast.
