I had to change my alt. belt today and when I loosen the bolt for all wheels and other belts to get to the belt, I put the alt belt on then proceeded to do the rest. Well, when I went to tighten the bolt for this part the bolt broke. I didn't over tighten the bolt, the bolt was just old and weak. I couldn't put the belt on because it would've been loose. I didn't have time to take the part off to get the broken bolt out, so I just put the other belts on and drove the 7 home.

Will the car be ok to drive for 1 week until I can get it back into the shop to fix the broken bolt?

Yes, I think it's the air pump. I did remove the bolt below (that's the bolt that broke off when I tried to tighten it back).

Yeah you need to be easy with those bolts because if I remember correctly it screws into the aluminum body of the pump, and aluminum is pretty soft. If you want to retain your airpump then it will be a little bit of a problem, but if not then search for the yoohoo belt mod. I used it for a long time with great results. The only problems you would have is if you are running a cat there won't be any air blowing into it and it will fail, or your waterpump could slip with only having the alt belt on it and you could overheat.
