Jerry:
What year car? Do you have the separate A/C belt or one serpintine? Sounds like you MAY have found an honest Mech who just doesn't want to change things till its fixed. Does the noise change with the A/c on or off? Does an electricall load change the noise (headlights on off?)(would lead towards Alternator) Also some year SAAB's have been known to have the harmonic ballancer go out (Main drive pully) They have a kind of rubber that bonds the inside to outside that can fail. Also if it is the A/C and the noise is there with the A/C off, it may just be the clutch bearing. You could also have the idler pully going bad. Or water pump or Rarer, the power steering. Yeah, lots of possibilities. I've had some luck with taking the belt off and feeling the pullys for roughness as they are spun by hand.
