David,
The pump should contain a check valve, such that it will not allow exhaust
gases back into the intake even with the belt removed. Thus it should be OK
to just remove the belt.
But, it's possible that check valve is no longer effective, so you might
want to keep an eye on it; or just go ahead and block it off.
