22re drive belt balance - A/C - crankshaft?

Since I got my truck there's been no belt on the A/C, I havent' cared. But I just read this from two years ago:
khat toy's 1986/1988 4Runner Build-Up Thread:
which brings me to the question... i ripped the compressor off, since i hate a/c, but someone told me i should put a dummy pulley back in to even out the tension on my crankshaft pulley, is this really necessary??? https://www.yotatech.com/51532287-post48.html
Is that TRUE?

No. you can run that motor with no belts and its fine. some came factory with no a/c and no powersteering.

Yah, PS, no AC here, runs fine. Always has. It'll get a York OBA there, as soon as I get off my duffer and Fab it all up.

The Toyota's had different "packages" as well as "options" that could be installed or deleted.
A/C was an option, and part of various "packages", as was power steering mostly standard but able to be deleted.
Neither A/C or power steering required belts to be installed if they weren't installed for balance or any other reason.

Are you saying the crankshaft pulley is wobbling?
If so, the harmonic balancer it probably needs replacing.

Careful with the postman. Better to pay the FedEx or UPSman.
