Yes, it will work, but poorly, and you will put both your vehicle's engine and interior at serious risk. The leaking water and antifreeze can damage your carpets, floorboards and upholstery, not to mention having your windows foggy all the time, obscuring your view. More importantly, the coolant loss reduces the radiator's ability to cool the engine and automatic transmission properly. Also, it should be noted that a leak will only worsen over time.

What would cause the heater on a Mazda B2300 to work on and off and blow only cold air?

heater core is probably faulty if fan only blows cold, also check air temperature controls, vent may be stuck The heater core is basically another radiator in your vehicle that tranfers warm fluid from your engine/radiator to the inside of your vehicle. This usually means that it depends on continuous flow to work. The fluid supply line to the core could be blocked or routed incorrectly, or the core could be bad. Its possible that a previous owner had a leaking heater core and bypassed the heater core entirely (happened to me) and never told the purchaser.
