Mike,
I had the belt replaced on my 92 C2 at 50K miles. The vent kit was installed at 33K miles in 1999, so the car ran for some time wihout the vent kit. My mechanic said my belt was fine and would have lasted at least another 50K miles, but I certainly feel better knowing that I have a new belt.
I'm staring at the old belt now, and there are cracks next to each tooth. The edges look a little worn also. Overall, the condition of the belt is OK, but it definitely looks a little brittle. I wish I had a digi-cam so I could post a picture.
If the vent kit was installed since new, I wouldn't have the belt changed. Perhaps when you hit 100K miles as a precaution.
