to my untrained eye it looks in ok condition, grab tons of rust remover (evaporust) and scotchbright and start cleaning it up.

The belt you are wondering about is an adjustable belt often used where the exact length is not known or where installing a normal belt is a pain in the a** (like my Atlas Lathe where I have to disassemble the headstock and the jack-shaft in order to install a normal belt).
It's possible that the belt won't be easy to replace because you may have to take a bearing and/or housing apart to get the old one out.

Please keep this updated I really want to see how it all turns out. Looks like the start of a great project. I am interested to see how changing the motor mount works out.
If you have not done it already get a Power Twist V Belt. It really does make a difference on these old saws. Also when you change the motor position you can easily lengthen or shorten the belt as needed to accommodate the new position.
