"beginning to consider" questions

My company was recently bought out by Eaton, and in their "HAHA we've got you now" presentation I learned they make Superchargers. After it was all over they asked if we had any questions... jokingly I said "yeah, do I get a discount on superchargers?"... well I about crapped myself when they said YES. Now I've kinda gotten bit wondering how hard it would all be to do.
So, a few very uneducated questions:

Can a Supercharger be turned off? I know the belt has to keep spinning, but it seems like I read somewhere that they can be wastegated or have the air redirected somehow.

Where would I buy a new Eaton supercharger? They're littering EBAY but I was wondering where I could get a price on a new one, and possily use my discount.

Do they sell brackets or install kits for them? I've seen the twin supercharged camaro on the 3rdgen site, and a few other pictures of them off to the side as well... up until a few days ago I though they had to be right on top the carb. (excluding centrifugal blowers)... or is it a home-made-fabrication project? I've got a basic carb-ed small block.

Sorry if these are stupid questions, but hey... I've gotta learn somewhere right?

What generation is your car? It sounds like you have a 3rd Gen.

Eaton makes quality superchargers and they last a long time. They come factory on several models with mild boost 4-6#. I think you'll like it.

I'm not sure if your discount applies to purchases from other companies or if must be directly through your company.
