I'm planning on buying a Vortech supercharger in the near future, my question is: Do I need to get rid of bolt ons like JLT CAI, Steeda UDP, 75MM so the S/C will fit correctly?

You should still be able to use your existing throttle body and I believe you're okay with the UDPs, too. You will probably have to remove the CAI. Your inlet plumbing is going to get changed around a little bit.
If you have a timing adjuster, you'll probably want to take that off (you don't want too much advance up at the high end with boost) and you'll need a tune -- you can have all your timing programmed in there.

Get rid of the UDP's, they will underdrive your accessories and thus your blower, and you'll make far less boost than you're supposed to. Also, your CAI will no longer work, so sell that as well. The 75mm throttlebody will be fine, also a plenum would be good too if you can afford it.

Good call. Didn't even think about that. See what us N/A guys know about superchargers? 
You could probably still run the smaller accessory pullies on the other devices, I guess, but you'd need to go back to the stock crank pulley/balancer.

That is correct.
