The modification bypass one plastic pulley (there's two, with the idler pulley) that is hard to replace. I did it because I heard a noise coming from that area and with a baby and a young child in the car, I dont want to be stranded. I did it also because I've always did most of the work myself on any of my cars. There's many benefits of that, first you save money, second you learn how your car is built, third if something happen on the road, most of the time you will know what to do and finally I think that, most of the time, the quality of the work you do is better than many dealer/garage.
I cannot confirm that but I think the GM or compatible belt is cheaper and easier to find than a Saab belt. So you're saving on one less pulley to repair and on the belt.
Michel
Thank you for all the comment so far.
