That's fine as long as you can still turn the power to the ignition on and off. You will need some kind of toggle switch for that if not the key.

as long as the key still turns off the main power you can run a bypass for the starter...won't hurt anything. i ran mine for almost 2 years like that. just make sure to run a fuse in the bypass circuit so it will let go if the solenoid hangs...

Yep no problem then as long as you are in a low crime area. I think it would last about an hour in my neighborhood.
