Default Removed J-Boot; Can I Move Car?

In order to get to my temp sender, I removed my J-boot and hoses attached to it. I need to move the car, but (a) the J-boot and hoses are still off; (b) lost some coolant when I removed the temp sender and I still need to bleed the coolant system.

Can the car move from in the garage to into the driveway, or don't even turn it over?

Thanks.

Won't hurt anything to try to start it... But it won't start unless you have the AFM hooked up.

If you're only moving it a few feet, you could probably hook up the AFM and just get it to idle, or just above idle to move it. It won't be pretty though, and I doubt it will run very far above idle without the door in the AFM moving

It will start. It will start even with the AFM unplugged. It will idle like crap but well enough for you to move the car from the garage to driveway. If you try to drive any real distance it will stall.
