Default Ok to start without serpentine belt?

I can't seem to find a diagram online about what the serpentine belt drives, but I'm interested in starting the car with it off. Any harm in doing this?

Awesome guys! Thanks for the help. The water pump was something I was afraid of, but I'll make sure I don't run it very long.

Don't worry about it too much. Not having the waterpump is like the thermostat being closed. Coolant will not circulate until your reach operating temperate anyway. When your fans kick in, know it's time to turn off the motor.
