Do you have an 04 Civic? You can't cut the belt off if you only have one drive belt for the alternator, PS pump, and compressor!

If one belt solely serves the A/C compressor, then you can just remove it.

You'd have to find just the right sized belt and make sure it doesn't rub on anything. Not sure how easy this will be.
