smog pump belt???

Will anything happen i were to take off the belt off my smog pump? That would only leave me with just the belt to the alternater because i took the ac belt off. Just wanted to know if it would mess anything up..

If you're refering to the belt for the air pump, I took mine off about three weeks ago along with the ac belt and my car runs just fine.

The cat will clog up and you'll lose power. This will happen over a long time and you won't notice it.

The alt belt will also slip at high rpm.
