Also possible to test with A/C pulley in place. Do this by drawing the line across the 3 rings of the main pulley AND the one ring of the A/C pulley. After starting and/or driving, check the relationship of the lines on the 3 rings of the main pulley to the one ring of the A/C pulley. If there is slippage, the lines with no longer be in alignment. Again the key is to compare the main pulley (3 inner rings) to the A/C pulley (outer ring).
If there is slippage, replace. Did mine a few months ago. It is a pain due to limited clearance. Given time and knuckle skin, most of it is straight forward. The most challenging part the the main bolt. This requires locking the engine. I put the car in gear, pulled brake to keep the engine from turning. Other methods: special Saab tool or big screwdriver. Fo the bolt, several people report cutting down a socket to fit the space. Most don't use the special Saab tool for the bolt. I made my own "special tool" by cutting the open end from a standard wrench. The box end easily goes on the bolt and a piece of pipe over the wrench provides the necessary leverage. Only downside is that I had to guess when I tightened the bolt since I did not have an appropriate setup to use a torque wrench. I'm sure it was tight enough since I did it about 12,000 miles ago. Too tight? Who knows...
