If you don't see any effects of overheating right now, it'll be fine. I've run my truck for a couple of miles without the belt on while trying to track down a noise/vibration problem. It didn't even make the temp gauge budge in that distance.
I remember once on an old chevy when I was a kid, the thermostat got stuck shut and it started banging and bucking. My dad pulled over and let it cool off, then pulled the thermostat out and tossed it away. That car lasted a good long time after that, even being passed down to a couple of us kids.
