New shorter serpentine belt -- now noise at idle

My tech replaced the tensioner on our '01 9-5 with the 2.3 engine because the tensioner was "wobbling" when the A/C compressor kicked in at idle. When he replaced the tensioner I also asked him to replace the pulleys. When he did this he also eliminated one pulley using Saab's new setup with a shorter serpentine belt. But since I got the car back there is quite a bit of noise from the belt assembly when I turn the steering wheel and the engine is at or near idle speed. The noise is less if the A/C is off. I don't hear any noise when the engine rpm is over 1200.
I've complained about the noise and the tech has checked out the assembly but he could not find any problem. But since the tech has not installed the new setup on many 9-5s he is not sure if this is normal or not. Anyone else have experience with the new serpentine belt setup in a 4 cyl. 9-5? Could the compressor be the problem? Any suggestions?
