No, because your excretory system include not only your kidneys, but also your lungs to excrete CO2, and your skin which excretes many things using sweat. Without your lungs, the CO2 level will build up too high and you will be poisoned by CO2. Without your skin, your body will be really really dirty. Without your kidneys, you are not able to clean your blood which means that your blood will be filled with urea(ammonia + CO2) which means you will die pretty quick.
