Yes, the 9-3s are very much easier to do this work on, you remove the air box, but no upper engine mount in the way. One can open the hood and if you have a 1/2"x1/2" tool in hand to move the tensioner, you can pull on the tensioner and with that belt slack feel the wobble and spin of the upper idler and then release the tensioner and close the hood, all withing 60 seconds if you cared to work fast. The Viggen engine is the same block and components to a large degree as other 9-3s, same bore, crankshaft delivers longer stroke to increase displacement.
Your belt is not the same as spec'd for the 9-5 long belt. Do you have a short belt as built? So don't get the short belt that we are talking about here until you know more.
