Well, with a lot of help from the guys at NAPA, I found the correct fan belt for a 39 eight, and I suspect the six as well. It is a 22485, and is 19/32" wide, and 49-1/8" long. It is a toothed belt. The belt that was on the car was just over 1/4" wide. I was able to get it under the harmonic balancer by putting a piece of wood on a hydraulic bottle jack and positioning it on the driver side of the oil pan/block, and lifting the side of the engine up about 1/2 to 1". No damage to the edge of the pan, and the fan belt went in easily.

I'll post this on the Parts X-Ref as well.
