would get one asap, your battery wont charge up, so your car wont run for long without the belt mate

nah he'll need the belt drew
it will go from the crank pulley to the alternator only, doesnt power waterpump.
like said above, battery wont last long without &^ most likely you'll end up stranded in the middle of nowhere with a flat battery
