I worked as a Tech at Volvo for 10 years.Ive done hundreds of cambelts on these.Whatever you do, change the water pump.Its false economy not to.Any reputable garage won't guarantee the job unless the pump is changed.
Every cambelt I replaced I without fail changed the pump.
There may not be play in the bearing when you check it, but when you put the new belt on and tension it to the correct hz, it'll put extra load on the old pump.When they fail they do catastrophic damage.
If you value your car,change it.
