You could do that, but it defeats the purpose of running without the alternator.
Also be aware that the belt and pulley are very efficient and don't put much drag on the engine. For this reason, many people keep the alternator belt on and just disable the alternator electrically with a switch. This makes it easier to go back to normal charging mode for longer trips.
