Default Stall question

I'm not sure if this belongs here or not, but here goes.

I'm doing a heads and cam swap in my 98 C5, but trying to budget it out some. I have a Yank SS 3600 stall that I'm going to be putting in. I want to pay a shop to do the stall, then afterwards I want to do the heads/cam/headers myself. (when I have the cash for the headers and cam).

Would it cause issues to drive the car with that stall in the car and everything else stock for a short time if needed?

Let me say that the car is not a DD. I've put maybe 1K miles on it since last winter. I just don't want to be in a scenario where I can't drive the car. Plus I can't just fork up the cash for the install, cam, and headers at the same time.

The shift points will be a little off w/o a tune but I drove mine for three months before it was tuned. Mine shifted way early like 5k at wot.

I drove my 3200 for a month untuned with no issues. Timing on shifts was pretty good as well. Shifts will become fairly soft after the new stall.

im surprised some people had no problems running an aftermarket stall untuned with no problems. once i did my cam and stall at once and tuned, i guess there was an SES code that popped up..something like P0751 or something like that.. i know it has happend to a few people.. it was horrible..after getting it deleted the car definitely drove perfect.
