You don't need the compressor for heat.  If it was 50'F outside in 1973 and the car was in auto set to 72'F the compressor would be running.  Just make sure compressor is not running when it is not hot outside.
Okay, I was confused. Before I had the A/C work done, I turned on the climate control one chilly March evening and the A/C-power steering belt broke, as the compressor locked up.

On these systems the compressor pretty much runs all the time unless you are in off or econ/vent.

Another way to go is to just unplug electrical connection at clutch during cold weather, then you do not have to worry about it.
