Default removing PS and AC belt

is it ok to remove the PS and AC belt and just drive without it while leaving everything else on the car. I still have fluid in the PS.

The non-flowing fluid in the closed system will cause a lot of resistance during low speed turns! Powering racks need to be vented with a enough fluid in the rack to maintain proper lubrication (loop line with a vent).

Is there a particular reason why you are doing this?

i was thinking about removing the belts fror a track session since its not that hard. So i was wondering if thatxwould work. How does a loop sys keep fluid from becoming static?

dont bother removing any belts, waste of time. Your driving will out do the belt removal. Its kinda like pulling your back seat to loose 4 lbs.

Spark plugs will help too and a good TUNE is always good can never go wrong with that. As for the belts theres no point but if u remove only that but the All the components of the AC and PS is almost 100pbs. I dont have either one and the PS took me a week to get use to but i love driving with out it now.
