Default Bypassing supercharger

Hey just wondering if anyone knows if it is possible to bypass a whipple supercharger with a stock fan belt. I broke off the pulley on the supercharger today and was wondering if I could install a stock f150 fan belt to temporarily bypass the supercharger and drive home.

Thanks for any responses

Interesting question. I would think that you wouldn't be able to pass enough air past the supercharger with it not turning but it's possible.

Yes, it'll be good enough to drive it home.

Truck will run and drive just as it did bone stock.
Btw I used JonBond Performance for my repair. Excellent service.
