Yes, I was quite surprised, having thought for years that you had to turn the engine off and back on. One day, I was not in a position to turn off the engine after a slip (I heard the belt slip and the compressor disengaged). I was pleasantly surprised when the compressor came back on line after a minute or so anyway. My belt was loose and it did this every time it slipped, until I replaced the tensioner. Then the compressor didn't disengage any more.
