Drive belt change and timing marker in way

I’m trying to change the AC drive line belt on the slant six. I can’t figure out how to get the drive belt onto the crank pulley. The timing marker is in the way and I don’t want to bend it and break it. Do I have to remover the entire timing cover to gain access?

What am I missing? Looks like the timing marker is one piece integrated to timing cover. Don’t see any bolts. Any advice?
