To try to answer shagginjet's question, It shouldn't make a difference. Take the belt off first and start your car (with the ac switch OFF) and see what happens. Let it run for a bit and see if there are any odd noises or anything. If not, your all good. Take out the rest of the ac system and you should be straight. Anyone want to contradict me?

I think in other cars there is one single belt controlling everything, including the ac pump. Thats why you can't just remove it, you put in a pulley to "fool" the belt and allow it to run just the same. In Honda's, or at least yours, I'm pretty sure they have their own dedicated belt for the ac.
