Was it originally an R12 or R134 system? If it's not R134 (or whatever they use now) look into doing the conversion now, I think it's different oil, different o-rings and different drier. All things you need anyway. Put some leak dye in as your putting it together.
You can put the belt on, just don't the AC on and it won't engage the compressor clutch. Probably wouldn't engage anyway, I'm guessing their is a pressure switch that would cut power to the clutch in the absence of freon.
Good luck, I'm planning on reinstalling my AC next time I feel like wrenching.

I have a little bit of a rub near lock but if you are turned to lock on a track there are other problems already...
