NO! :shock:

There will be no brakes, no PAS, no suspension. The hydraulic pump which powers all these, drives from the aux belt.

i would not even start the engine untill you have checked inside the cam belt covers for any strands of aux drive belt waiting/lurking to cause mischief with the cam belt,
