Can I run my 80 450sl without the servo??

Alright, I have another question.

I have a 1980 450sl, and everything started with a broken servo...it was causing my battery to drain, so I decided ot start taking everything apart and fix the car completely.

Right now, I have the servo out of the car, and nothing is in its place. Just 4 hoses and and empty space. My goal is to eventually rebuild it, but I for the time being, I want to move on and work on some other aspects of the car, like the vacuum system, etc.

Here is my question: The battery has been disconnected, and the car has not been started in a few months. However, for some of the things I want to work on, I need to be able to turn it on/run it, etc...Can I do this with the servo missing and the hoses disconntected, or will that cause bad things to happen? If I do need to do something just to prevent harm (i'm not going to be driving the car for a while), what kind of quick fixes can I do to the hoses in order to run the car?

Thanks for your help!

Zack
