You wouldn't cause any damage per se, but there's a couple things to be considered. First of all its sounds like your problem is the cooling fan relay. Sounds like you have a 87 or 88? When my relay spit the bit, I ran the fan thermostat wiring into the cabin and connected it to switch so I could turn the fan on manually.
The only thing you need to consider with no thermostat is (1) the engine may not heat up to normal operating temp meaning the air/fuel mixture wont be correct. (2) Two is cabin heat, you wont have any. If you live on the west coast like me, not a big deal. If you live in where there's real winter, you have to have a thermostat.
