I'm having a hard time trying to find where it says they have to be readied to be able to cast a spell.
Is the retrieval of those material costs part of the act of casting a spell as long as they're readily available (ie: spell component pouch outside your clothing) or do you have to use a move action to take it out first?

It's the whole point of having a spell component pouch.... to put the materials in easy reach. If you're a prepatory caster, part of your spell preparation was in preparing the material components for quick access.
So in ordinary circumstances, no. retrieving your spell components is part of your casting action. As long as you have your assumed spell component pouch in it's assumed easy access.

You retrieve them as part of casting the spell.

Is there anywhere that this is stated in the core rule book?
Pg. 184, under the "Cast a Spell" Section, in the "Spell Components" paragraph:
"To cast a spell with a material(M), Focus(F), or divine focus(DF) component, you have to have the proper materials, as described by the spell. Unless these components are elaborate, preparing them is a free action."
