It will start but can't run for long without one. The serpitine belt drives the alternator, water pump, air conditioner and other important units to keep the engine running. Without the belt the engine will overheat very quickly and the battery will run down.

Can you run your sebring without the ac belt?
I believe the AC belt also runs the Alternator in the earlier sebrings, if that is the case, I would highly recommend that you not operate the car without the belt. What year is the car? The car is a '95 coupe...but I have since learned the AC belt only runs the AC...so you can safely remove it and the car runs fine and silently now...thanks for the help and I hope my info helps someone else.

Will the 3800 engine run without the supercharger belt?
Yes it will I had a tensioner pulley give out on mine that had to be replaced due to having an incorrect belt, and incorrect routing. I ran for over a week while I waited for the proper belt, and replacement pulley to get to me. The Supercharger does indeed make a difference in power, but if you have to run without it you'll be ok. I wouldn't bypass the supercharger on purpose because it may even decrease your gas mileage, but again the car will run without it if need be. 11/11/07 -After 10 years of ownership, and 30 minutes of running my GTP without the supercharger belt, I believe it will continue to run successfully at a greater level naturally aspirated. I will report the results as they come...
