Okay, so.. I've been doing a lot of exernal engine work lately. Here's my dilemnia:

I've got a broken bolt on the power stering pump belt tensioner. I'm getting new parts on tuesday, but the alternator and A/C are all set to go. Can I run the car with just the A/C alternator? I'm not sure, because I think I read somewhere the Power Steering pump and oil pump ran off that one pulley?

Anyone know for sure? Or will I have to wait until tuesday for the parts??

Thanks again, everyone.

 

The P/S pump runs off its own belt turned by the crank shaft pulley. It is behind the serpentine belt, which turns the A/C compressor and alternator.

You can run the car without the P/S pump, and I know some have done it.
