Peter:
I didn't remember having to remove anything the last time I changed the fan
belt, but just to be sure, I went out to the garage and did a "dry-run" with
a spare belt. It went on with no problems at all. Clearance arount the
cross-member was minimal, but adequate. No problem at all around the steering
rack, or other components. FWIW, mine is a '71. It took all of 15 seconds to
get the belt in place.
Who knows, maybe all the tolerances added up in the right way on mine!
