Maybe. With the belt remove.The s/c will still spin during acceleration of the engine.The spining force is produce by the incoming air flow. Check your s/c oil. Low oil will cause excessive wear and tear to the front s/c bearing which required oil. Check the snout seal for damage or leaks too.

some one had this problem a few days ago, they found a bolt that fit, rtv'ed the threads, and snugged it up.
just checked intence it is only $50 bucks, the description said it is cut down to fit the smaller pullys, just need to find out if i can run my stock pully on it, also 3800 perfomance has all the parts to rebuild it for $72, 50 would be better if it works with the stock pully

that snout will work, its milled to accept the smallest of the small pulleys, the stock pulley will still work just fine.
