Or can I just undo the four bolts and shift it slightly, without getting in too to much drama as a result of tension on the belt ?

Drop the belt off the pullies and undo the 4 bolts holding the A/C compresor, no need to remove the hoses from it.
My hint is remove the plastic turbo switch thingy with the 3 vac/pres hoses, I ummm broke mine

Is there a quick way to drop the belt?...a.ctually, my bad, Im replacing the belt anyway, so will just cut it for now....

But, is there a quick way to drop the belt without removing the fan etc (for future reference)?

Remove the top section of the fan shroud.
Back off the tensioner(bolt in centre of bearing,only till belt lossens).
Belt can be feed around the fan blades with care.
Check your pullies and the bearings while there.
