I had a broken b-shaft belt after a bad install but it didn't seem to run any different. I didn't loose the t-belt. Luckly I swapped the t-belt at 20K as another bad install (wrong bolts in the oil pan) wore a a groove in the timing belt. I would pull off the timing cover for sure though. Defintly cannot hurt anything. Vibration could also be caused by a bad motor mount.
