running with Supercharger disconnected

Anyone know of any harm that might come from running a sl55 with the belt removed from the supercharger drive? Waiting for a new bearing to come in and thought I'd just disconnect before the old one self destructs and causes more damage.

(Yes I know I can just park the car, but was wondering anyway...)

Thanks!

We will never know

Bearing showed up at 2 in the mail, closed the hood and was driving at 3:30, including a trip to the store to find a good object to drive the old bearing out. Easy repair!
