You are already sounding out of your depth if you have to ask that type of question.

I'm sure the engine needs taking off the mounts to provide enough clearance to get the belts off otherwise.

Somehow the cover worked itself loose on mine, started it up outside work one day and luckily still had the door open to hear something fall off. Switched it straight off and popped the bonnet to find the whole top cover dropped down almost resting on the belt. Even with the top mount off I struggled to get even a miniature socket set in at some of the screws.

In going to be removing all the engine mounts to move the engine for the manifold that's why I thought be go plan to do belt
