Wouldn't one have to drill a large hole through a lot of front end sheet metal and maybe the radiator and/or frame to get the hand crank to engage the front pulley?
On an AD, there's a space thru the lower grille bar for the crank, and the centerline of the pulley is above the front crossmember. The original radiators have a tunnel in the lower tank to clear the crank. I haven't inspected my radiator to see if that's there, or if it was replaced at some point in it's history with a radiator without that tunnel.
The attached pic shows the notch in the lower grille bar toward the back of the pic. That's the one that attaches to the lowest grille bar.
That link that buoymaker posted above to another thread has some discussions about the crank provisions.
