Any harm in taking off the blower belt over time? cause oil is pumped to the head unit

Nope. The blower will just act as a restriction on the inlet...... it will still spin as the motor sucks in air..... just not very fast.

I HIGHLY doubt that it will suck enough air to cause the impeller to spin. ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif)

You'll be suprised at how much air a motor sucks in at WOT. I remember once getting my hand too close to an inlet once..... I thought I was going to lose my fingers the way my hand got sucked in. It really spooked me out and put things in perspective.
Do a test.....bypass your blower pulley. Put a piece of tape on top of the pulley and go romp on the car down the street. Pop the hood and see if the tape moved
