Help replacing fender

Over the weekend I had a small fender bender. My front pass side fender needs to replaced. My question is, do I need to remove front bumper cover to replace the fender?
Also my a/c stop working about a month ago, now it's making noise. Can I bypass the a/c with a shorter belt, if so what length of belt do I need?
Thanks
John

Ok, my car has been parked since last post. I was able to see that timing chain and tensioners were replaced in 2006, my questions is should it have worn out in 7 years and need to be replaced again? The work was completed at Jag dealership with 77,xxx miles now it has 166,xxx miles.
thanks
thanks

There are four bolts holding the compressor, which can be accessed from the lower LH front. Remember to replace the two compressor manifold o-rings prior to reassembly and add sufficient compressor oil to the new unit. The Bentley workshop manual has all the details.
Prior to removing the compressor, the system will need to be discharged by a local workshop with the equipment to capture the freon/refrigerant as it is now illegal in most places to simply let the refrigerant escape into the atmosphere.
