S/C belt question

[Ruflyf]

I just noticed on my S/C belt, that there are ALOT of ribs missing, is this belt hard to get, can I get one at Autozone/advanced auto, etc? Anyone know a part number for it? Also, I am assuming my vx is parked til I get it replaced since I would imagine it would be REALLY bad if it broke enroute to somewhere, right?

If the belt broke, it should freewheel. Also, there is a vacuum operated bypass valve that would allow airflow around the SC.

Cool, thx Hotsauce...thats good to know. After I started thinking about it, it made since that nothing catastrophic should happen, but I am by no means a S/Cer genius. As for the belt itself, I have the part number, the store had to order it, and should be getting on tomorrow.
