I don't think the motor mounts allowed for changing the belt without jacking
the engine up a bit.  I'll have to look, but might even show or say that in
the original "Workshop Manual".  I do know, that even when the car was new,
you couldn't get the belt off/on without jacking the engine.

As noted, jack the engine up.  However, I believe the motor mounts were
supposed to stand tall enough to leave room to change the belt, with the
addition of shims if necessary.
