AC belt necessary for 3ZVE?

I looked all over the forum before I posted this. I am sure it is addressed somewhere in a build thread.

Is the AC belt necessary on the 3ZVE if your air conditioner has been broken for years? I will be replacing the belts soon (and keeping a spare set) and was wondering if I should save my money with the AC belt? Might seem like a novice question, but wasn't sure if the belt (AC) was running anything else. Can I simply run the alternator belt (1) and power steering belt (1)? Haven't had a working AC in over a decade.

It is not necessary. If it's a separate belt from the alternator and ps.

when the ac clutch is not engaged, it just free spins anyway.
