Really? Your Subaru has a fan belt rather than an electric fan?  
AC condensers rarely fail, but can be, again rare, punctured by road debris.  
At any rate, at a minimum get the belt replaced, car can not be driven without it.  
I had a serpentine belt self destruct, replaced it in an auto parts store parking lot.
