valve adjustments, an easy way?

i have a haynes and a chiltons repair manual and the way they detail checking and adjusting valve clearences is sorta long, i was just wondering if there was an easier way to do it since i just intalled a new camshaft and it needs adjusting. can i turn the crank without taking off my ps, alt, ac pully? or do i have to take it all off? tnx

Remove your spark plugs, and it turns easily.
