serpentine again

So thanks to this list I have a list of maintenance I want to do to my 95 CSE. I park on the street so the work I do on the car will be limited to the occasional visit to a friends place.
The serpentine belt was replaced 38K miles/5 years ago. The idler and tensioner pulley were replaced at the same time. To my eye it looks cracked and shinny so I wanted to have this done right away.
I took the car to my indy this morning (SBJ in Somerville, MA). I explained that the pulley's were replaced 38K ago and that I hoped they had some life left in them. He said he would not recommend replacing the belt without also replacing the tensioner unit - he was fairly adamant. His cost for the tensioner is $270 ($170 at eeuroparts). I asked him about just replacing the tensioner shock but it said that they never fit properly.
Anyway he is going to just change the belt unless things look really bad. The perhaps I can install a tensioner from eeuroparts at some point.
I think what I really need is a driveway or garage.
