I had to do the same thing with my Eagle several years back. . . I was living in Reno and driving in to Carson, AC compressor seized partway through town, and I had to cut the belt to make it back to Reno. It left shredded belt all over my engine bay and smelled terrible for a couple days. I didn't even know it had happened until we stopped at a light - there was no noise, but a lot of smoke!
