   AFAIK the belt running the aircon also runs the alternator and water
   pump (Certainly does in the 164 V6), so you’re a bit buggered.

   I checked the parts CD, and indeed the SZ has 3 different belts to drive
   those auxiliary stuff around the engine.

   Yes Richard, you can safely drive your SZ home without the _aircon_
   belt. The alternator/waterpump belt is however crucial.
