Question BELT REPLACEMENT 1995 e-320

Just replaced the water pump. Need to know how to replace the belt. Can it be done with the fan in place? (cut the old one off)

Thank you. Got the new one almost on, then found the dealer (MB) sold me the wrong belt. (short). Also can anyone tell me why every time they but in my VIN at the dealers it shows no such number?
