The 2000 Saturn LS 2.2 comes equipped with a timing chain rather than a timing belt. A timing chain is a metal chain that controls the timing of the engine's valves, while a timing belt is made of rubber and needs to be replaced at regular intervals. Timing chains are generally more durable and do not require routine maintenance like timing belts do.
According to the Gates Belt application chart this engine does not use a belt but instead uses a chain that normally lasts the life of the engine.
I can't say for sure, but I have a 2001 Prizm and called some mechanics to look into having the belt changed, and they told me I didn't need to because it has a chain. According to the repair manual from 1993 through 1997 the Prizm used a timing belt and was an interference engine. From 1998 until end of production the Prizm used a timing chain. same with its mechanical twin, the Toyota corolla.
