So my ac idler bolt broke when iw as removing it. I can't seem to find the part number and this is the only picture I could locate to show people exactly what part I'm talking about.

Factory Air Conditioner Idler Pulley & Bolt Landcruiser & Hilux Diesel Engine

That little bolt that goes into the idler that has a nut to tighten it and the tension bolt goes through the hole on the other side to increase/decrease tension. I'm looking for the part number so if anyone could help it would be great! It's a 2002 4runner sports edition(if that matters). I'm going to autozone/ advance to try and get a new one but I read you can drive without the ac belt correct? Now if I mindlessly turn on the AC without the belt on is there any damage done? I have work tonight so I'm in a bit of a panic. Also does this affect the heater? It gets cold in the morning and I need the defroster. Thanks to anybody for their help. I hope I made sense!

What he said. Heater/defroster will still work fine. Actually, the defrost function will be impaired without the A/C to dehumidify but should still work with enough heat. The A/C works full-time to dehumidify.

Not sure what bolt you want, the one that holds the pulley on or the one that moves the tensioner. Toyota only sells the first as part of the pulley. The long bolt that moves the tensioner is 90099-04306. If you want the first, take the pieces to good auto parts store.

I broke bolts doing the timing belt kit thing last fall. Ended up going junking to get replacements. Also some of those parts are the same on the second gen V6.

Actually I need that bolt/tensioner right next to 88443. It's the thing the tension bolt(90099-04306) screws into. See which part I'm talking about now?
 
I bought this tensioner bolt from the Toyota dealership about 18 months ago. I believe that they had it in stock and didn't even have to order it. I think it was around $5 or so.
