You could do that for the summer and then fix it before winter. But the heater core also helps to cool the car. Whenever I get stuck in traffic in hot weather, I run the heat on high and that helps prevent the car from over heating.
You could give it a shot and keep an eye on your temperature gauge on warm days. Saving a few bucks for a heater core is nice, but over heating your car will cost you a lot more than the cost of the heater core.
