ASP AC Belt Questions? Is it necessary?

Does the AC belt turn anything other than the ac and the balancer?

I plan on not buying an ac belt because I have a busted compressor and the entre AC is coming out soon...

Will I be fine with just using the serpintine belt and leaving the AC belt off the compressor and balancer ? Or will I lose some form of accessory?

Where did you guys get your balancer bold will I be fine with an Autozone/Kragen one or should I see the dealer for an OEM bolt? I have to have it tommorow...

Thanks

I went with the ARP balancer bolt for peace of mind. I forget where I got mine, maybe JEGS or something like that. It was about $25.

Lots of people use the stock one from the dealer without a problem. Just don't ever re-use the stock bolt, it's a torque to yield - use once and throw away.

The AC belt only turns the AC compressor so you can take it off.
