I drove my car around for a week or so with no engine cover. The holes for the support bracket had broken, so I replaced the cover with a new one. I had no problems driving mine with no engine cover. In fact, the engine should stay a little cooler with the cover off. You have probably already done this, but make sure your engine compartment light is disconnected.
