Default Please help fast

I just installed the "short belt mod" bypassing the power steering pump and I need to know if it ok to leave the bottom bolt out of the altenator for a long period of time? Would it be ok to drive 50 miles to the track like that way? Thanks

I know when people install 6.0L Vortec blocks into their cars, there is an issue with the LS1 alternators because they have 3 bolts, and there are only 2 on the block. I know alot of people leave that bolt out with no problems. So, you can risk it if you want.

I've left my bolt out for at least that long without trouble.

Sorry about the late reply. I just made it on time at the track tonight and was able to do the short belt mod there. It only took a couple of minutes to change. It helped alot. Previous best was 12.61@111.16 and tonight I ran 12.50@112.21 not bad for aten dollar belt.
