Sure you can. As long as you have a flywheel and clutch installed and torqued to spec. I wouldn't rev it too hard or for too long without an exhaust hooked up though, it's bad for the exhaust valves. I've heard of people burning up their valves from not running enough back pressure.
BTW, looking back at my previous post, I feel like i might have misguided you by saying that the insulation was un-needed. Yeah it helps sound deadening, but it's also right above the exhaust manifold. I hope the passenger legwell doesn't get too hot and melt any wires. Might want to take that into consideration(if you haven't already) before you actually start driving the car. Sorry man.
