if the clutch and/or pulley on your compressor are okay, yes, you can continue to operate your vehicle without any issues...without a compressor you will need a bypass pulley and special length of belt.
yes only if that belt runs a/c only. if belt runs all accessories no. ex. water pump and alt
think it's a serpentine belt. did this for 9 months on a kia sedona "04. then when money saved, replaced it. it ran fine during that time. can belt be bypassed while avoiding a/c compressor on the '09 sonata? (tried that with sedona but belt kept breaking anyway. so removed compressor.)
