You did not specify how hot your engine gets but my previous car was a 260E and when it overheated the head warped and the countdown to head gasket breach began.
You might consider raising your water:coolant ratio until the fan clutch is installed -- possibly even running on straight water if you feel it will only be a week or so. It's worth the effort as getting stuck in traffic on just one occasion is all that would be required mess things up pretty badly for you.
