Yeah, the AC belt just drives the ac compressor. The only bugger side is that it's the belt that goes on first, so to replace you will have to remove the ps and alt belts first.

 

If your not bothered by A/C then you don't need to worry about it.

cheers can this be done with engine in situ

Yep, in situ, but if I remember correctly, the AC belt is behind the alternator belt, so you have to remove that first, but, 'if' it is your AC belt, and you don't use your AC, there's no rush, all it runs is the AC compressor, I'd have a look at your alternator, make sure that still has a belt on it, then you'll know it's your AC...

What spritley said, haha, didn't see that post :)

if there were no altanator belt on would the ignition light be on on the dashboard and battery would go flat eventually
