Now, about The SAGA- it has has 1 hour of deleted scenes, but one MISSING scene from GF2- :

A Church. ANTHONY is walking down the aisle during his first communion.

[Priest prays while giving out eucharist. Anthony is the third child. He turns toward the camera.]

Other than that, the violence is toned down...

- Sonny says "stick in his hand" and not "dick in his hands"

- Young Vito doesnt shoot the extra bullet through Fanucci's mouth.

- Sonny doesnt get the close range final "treatment" from one of the hitmen...just the bullets to the car.

- No close-up when Young Vito "slices" Don Ciccio

And all the screen-texts are missing too...

well nothing is perfect, but the SAGA is still the most "complete" version of 1 and 2. There are some scenes in the SAGA that never made it to the DVD.

FFC also made some changes / corrections in the order of some scenes too (besides the regular chronological timeline)

Now, about not including the lost scene where Michael kills Fabrizio : many believe the reason to be a very bad makeup work regarding Fabrizio's fake blood.
I highly doubt it to be the reason. If you ask me, the car explosion was simply put the best possible choice for revenge : killing Fabrizio in the same way he killed Apollonia.

Besides, the makeup artists did a fine job on Santino and the others...you can read these pages if u like...one is about the special effects in the movies and the 2nd link is a step-by-step explanation of Zasa's hit:
