Drive car with Supercharger Belt off?

If I take my drive belt off of my supercharger (to change it), will my car run like crap, or will it just run like aa 5.0 without a SC? I need to replace it but sold my daily driver and might not have a ride and I don't know what size the belt is. I have Powerdyne 9lb, FMU, by-pass, normal set up. Not sure if it was ever tuned, I assume it was but don't have any verification. Thanks.

i worked on a supercoupe that broke the front s/c pully off that ran fine except just didnt have the power it had.
the owner had no clue it had broke but when he pulled up we hear the belt slapping the other belt.

Yup. I snapped a belt on the road and pulled it off. Car ran perfectly fine under part throttle, just didnt have the grunt it used to have. I didn't try flooring it cause I figured it would run super rich.

That's what I was thinking. I'd really like to get on it without the SC on though, just to see what it has. It's been a long time since I've driven a NA Stang

I've ran my car with the belt off my Paxton, and it worked fine. It just draws air through the SC even though its not spinning.

It'll be fine for driving around while you are replacing the belt.
