Default A/C hose hole - can I drive it?

I'm going to get my car tuned on Sunday, but today I got to work and there was huge "whooshing" sound coming from under the hood. From what I could tell, its the hose from the accumulator. I took a screwdriver and released all the freon and the sound went away. I can't get any parts before I go and I don't want to cancel the tune and take more time off work.

Can it be driven like this?

Thanks.

No problem at all to drive it. Refrigerant has nothing to do with the engine. You can take the A/C belt off if you want to, until you get the line fixed and can use your A/C again too if you want.
