Default A/C belt drive

The small Air conditioning belt is shot and pulley tensioner is **** causing this tremendous squeal. I'm thinking about just cutting the belt for moment being. from what i see its only hitting the UD pulley, tensioner and the AC unit. IS this true? can i just cut the belt without effecting anything else? Thanks

yes your AC belt only turns the AC.. you can take it off until you fix then AC belt tensioner .
