Drive with the S/C belt off

My S/C bearing is making noise, will it hurt to drive to the shop with out the belt?

Thanks

Super Charger bearing

Just replaced the bearing on my 04 SL55 AMG Kleeman and it took me about 1 hour from start to finish and is quiet as a mouse now.

I have done this a number of times and no CEL either. The drive is certainly no fun though.

You can drive it. There won't be a problem. It just won't be fun.
