Cut air pump belt?
I wanted to change the worn out alternator belt on the 85, noticed I had to remove the air pump belt first. Went to loosen the air pump bolt, SNAP, the rusted bolt sheared off! Now what? Can I just cut the air pump belt and forget it, or 'bad idea'? I have a straight pipe exhaust with one cat and a muffler.
Opinions? thanks

Im not sure but if you have a six port 13B on your 85 the air pump activates the high speed auxiliary ports to make more power. Check . But you could wire them open. The air pump is for emissions also. ...Rotarius

The air pump does NOT actuate the 6-port actuators on GSL-SE's, exhaust backpressure does.
Removing the air pump belt with no other changes will result in rapid alternator belt failures as well as possible idle/driveability issues.
