After helpful advice from the Board for removing AC compressor belt I was able to replace all belts on my 84 245glt.

After a week of driving, the AC compressor belt seemed to tight--funny noises, etc.

Yesterday I added the last shim to loosen the belt--worked great except that I broke the last bolt when reassembling the pulley.

Question is: are the remaining 3 bolts and 2 nuts sufficient to secure the pulley or do I need to remove/replace the broken bolt immediately? If I need to remove, how do I go about doing so?

Thanks,
Corey
