Default my power steering died... broken belt while driving. no p/s = ok, but should i worry?

1993 integra da


i hit a dip too fast.

couple miles later, i hear a noise, then NO power steering.

look under my hood, pick off the remaining pieces of that belt.

and na, i havent driven the car nor plan to until i get a better understanding of what else that broken belt serves a purpose for.

question:

1.other than the power steering, what else wont work?

2. can i leave it like this? dont really mind. and i dont want to get my p/s back just yet.

3. is it dangerous? should i get it fixed? or should i get it fixed ASAP?

timing belt looks fine, along with another belt. car runs, starts, blah...

if its just a ps belt that broke you should be fine. as long as your alternater belt and ac belt are intact. ps sucks not to have when you either have a big car or parrellell parking

i didn't want to replace mine and when i asked for advice from my mechanic, he told me that no power steering would eventually damage your frame rack within 10,000-20,000 miles

like $10-$20. Sell some blood ....or better yet, semen. Might as well go to some good use. It's not doing any good sitting on that rag.
