Yes, if you drive with the Power Steering empty of fluid and the motor locks up, it can actually rip the belt from the motor. You can damage belts and the steering motor if you drive with the power steering empty.

96 gmc safari van the power steering and the brakes are out this morning fluids are good and so are the belts any idea what the problem might be?

Are the brakes out or is the power brake system not working properly. I believe those vehicles have the hydro boost power brake system. If so, the power steering pump is what applies the power brakes, no vacuum is needed. If something is wrong with the power steering pump (empty, no belt, malfunctioning) it will affect the power brakes as well.
