yes you can drive it without thermostat the only thing is before winter you will want to replace it or your heater will not work
( also the engine will take longer to warm up , the gas mileage will suffer , the check engine light will probably come on etc . )

When taking of a 1986 Honda accord thermostat what can you replace it with?
Replace it with the exact same temperature thermostat as the one you removed. Do not run the engine without a thermostat. The thermostat is required to keep the engine running at the optimum temperature that will give the best performance and mileage. If it is overheating running it without a thermostat is not the solution.
Can a car run without a thermostat?
Yes. But running without a thermostat will cause the engine to be overcooled, because the restriction normally provided by the thermostat on the flow of coolant from the radiator around the engine has been removed, so too much coolant will flow and the engine will run too cool. If the engine is not up to temperature it uses more fuel, will produce less power, will wear more, and will not heat the cabin heater as well. So it's not a good idea to run without a thermostat. It is acceptable to run without a thermostat in an emergency, e.g. if the thermostat has failed and doesn't open, causing the engine to overheat. Just make sure you replace it as soon as you can. Running without the thermostat may also trip the check engine light to come on.

Why is your 2002 Chrysler sebring lxi 2.7 is overheating?
I had a similar issue one day, my friend mechanic advised that the thermostat had siezed, he removed the thermostat, cut the spring and re installed it, I have used it now for 4 months with no issues to date. Please check with a technician, as I reside on an Island that is constant 84 degrees and the engine does not really need a thermostat. As to update this, I have now used this car without the spring in the thermostat for nearly 2 years and without any issues, temp remains well below half way mark
