It also doubles as fan/waterpump belt. If it snaps you'll lose the engine cooling. Coolant will start boiling after a couple of miles. Been there, done that. Nearly killed it. Can still be driven carefully, watching the temperature gauge and stopping to cool down if needed. At least I suppose so, I didn't try.
