You can go by without a CSV since it only works for a very short period of time in cold conditions. You'll have to plug the port though.
I would be more worried about the missing flaps, those are a absolute must for proper engine, especially head cooling. Thermostats are NLA but the flaps need to be there in open position all the time. |
