In theory it shouldn't be a problem because the clutch pressure plate is more than man enough to push the pedal back, but it will feel different without it and you won't have any free play at the top of travel...so i'm not sure whether any self adjusting mechanism could be affected cos its years since i had anything to do with manual boxes and clutches (ISTR some Fords having a ratchet adjuster at the clutch pedal end), hopefully someone else will know if that could be an issue on your car.

I'd want it replacing personally, but if its a pig of a job a temporary set up using bungee cord might do for the time being till convenient, elastic cord is something i keep a roll of in the garage (cheap as chips off the bay), you don't need it often but when you do it does the job.
