Haven't done it on a 370Z, but, I agree with synolimit. Every other motor I've worked on was the same - put a socket with a LONG breaker on the crank bolt/nut and turn. Accessories won't add enough drag to make it worthwhile to remove the belt(s).

Edit: I have seen times where removing the radiator, alternator, &c made it a lot easier to get to the crank bolt and/or turn the engine, but, if you have enough clearance, you shouldn't need to remove anything.
