Since the belt is off I can guess you don't have a problem where the belt powered anything else important
A few things about disconnecting and removing the AC pump
1. Opening up a system (not having it vacuumed out first) is againist the law in many parts of the country. Freon os nasty stuff for the tress and birds as well as you if you get a big wiff of the stuff
2. If you leave the dryer disconnected they can becomed damaged and unusable.
3. If you have address the above items the pump and hoses can be removed. Suggest that you find plugs or caps to cover any open ends to reduce crud and dirt finding their way into the system
Hope this helps
