In my case, I'm pretty sure the Civic water pump is gear driven of an engine shaft. Not related to the alt drive belt at all. I do like having a/c and power steering. True that I could drive the car without either.
Hmmm... removing the belts would be a long lasting decision for me - I'm not handy at installing + tightening them. I'd probably cut 'em off and that would be the end of them.
