Removing AC belt

I have 4 belts. The AC belts run between crank, AC, Power steering & water pump, all 4. But Alternator belts runs between alternator, water pump & crank. The Power steering also has a separate belt between power steering and crank. It seems that water pump is run by two belts and power steering is also run by two belts. In both cases it is the AC belt that run as a second belt. Of course Alternator and Power steering belt can never be removed.

Question is, can I remove AC belt, or the AC belt is providing extra secondary pull to power steering and water pump?

You can remove it. Should be just fine.
