Default Can I run without the condensor for a while?

I've been going through hell with my AC... my second compressor I got was immediately defective, and sent metal through my JUST FLUSHED system!!!

So while I'm gathering parts to redo everything (uggghhhh!!) I have the compressor, the lines, the condenser, and the accumulator out. The only one I feel is weird is the condenser. Is it necessary for the condenser to be there for the radiator to stay in place? It seems firm but I just want to be sure...

And will I throw a code with the compressor and high pressure switch connections just hanging? Thanks

You'll be ok taking the condenser out and won't throw any codes.

Thanks. I actually managed to take it out by myself without draining the radiator! WOO!
