[Shotimes] Car repairs

[Steve Weinrich]

That is the serpentine belt.  One belt, runs everything, "snaked" in
there...

Have it replaced along with the AC stuff.

There really isn't much else that will be replaceable at that level of
disassembly.

When I replaced the compressor in my 89, I took the radiator and fan out to
give me more room.  The resulting space was well worth the extra time it
took me.
