<VV> Spare fan belt for an A/C car

[N. Joseph Potts]

HOW do you get this stored belt down and around the pulley at the crankshaft
without first unshipping the A/C belt?
     Have you ever "deployed" a belt so stored? You wouldn't have to cut the
existing fan belt - you could just move it "inboard" of the fan and crank
pulleys.
     I just don't see how this would work. Maybe your crank pulleys are set
up differently from mine? Mine are stock.
