Specifically on the twin cam cars... I have an '01 SL2 and I just had to go through swapping the PS pulley which included throwing a new belt on the car. That thing is a son of a (expletive deleted) to get on there if you have big hands...

I don't remember, I had mine apart a couple of years ago to change the Alternator and I had problems with the belt tensioner. I seem to remember I had to replace it some time in the past.
But I have had the car for about 12 years and it has been largely trouble free. I have broken down and bought a serpentine belt tensioner wrench. I have worked on way too many east west engines with no clearance for the drive belts to try to loosen tension with the wrong wrenches any longer.
