Belt Info - AC Pulley Bypass

Just an FYI in case anyone else needs it. The AC pulley bearings on GF's '99 9-3 went. It had a bad wobble even with the clutch disengaged. Decided to bypass the compressor to avoid further damage in case I go for just a bearing swap. Researching on this forum gave me the following official Saab numbers for the short belt:
4961058 (6PK-1805) (these numbers are correct and the belt is readily available from UK sites)
The 6PK number is easily crossed to Dayco and Gatorback belts (Gatorback available from Autozone, Dayco available from Advance Auto Parts).
The exact cross is as follows:
Dayco - 5060710
Gatorback 4060710
The "710" designates a 71" length and is used in Jeep Grand Cherokees with 4L engines and others.
I decided to get the 5060715 (Gatorback 4060715) as it gives a half inch more length (to make sure it gets around the pulleys easier), plus it's a few dollars cheaper (about $24 vs $28). It's not an over-length that I have read others use so it has room to stretch with use without worrying about overstretch.
