So unless you are a truly ignorant driver to the various lights that will come on after the alternator stops charging, the chances of you blowing up the engine from a belt failure + overheat is next to none.

Oh, I'm glad you said 99% ........
My grandfather's older Ford Model T, was a fine machine ....... and it didn't have a water pump or an alternator ......
I remember well that my grandfather would put me "behind the wheel" when I was about 3-4 years old (to keep me out of the way, no doubt), and I would "drive" for hours (never leaving the barn) ........ oh, the questions I would have ..... what does this do ...... how does this work ....... why ........
