It should be OK, just make sure nothing is sitting loose around the intakes.

Exactly.

A code may be set because the MAF, EGR and resonance flaps are disconnected. It can be erased later.

Make sure nothing is loose that can get sucked in.

Did I mention that you need to make sure nothing can get sucked in? As far as running it for a few minutes, sure. I wouldn't run it for hours on end.
