If there is a nut on it, it will be a normal thread(right handed). Once the nut is off, the pulley will come off with only minor "persuasion".

If there is not a nut, a puller will be required.

And most likely a keyed shaft that does not require a press fit...

My '80 was pressed on.  The tool that Autozone loans will work but is a bit of a pain.  If you can find someone who has the snap-on one, use it.  It just slides over in the groove and the bolt tightens down.

REMEMBER: When you put it back on, make sure you have it lined up EXACTLY with the drive pulley for it.  If you don't, you will spin the belt off.  Trust me...
