I recommend replacing/installing a thermostat. The engine was designed to run within a certain temperature range.
Draining the coolant is fairly easy. There is a drain at the bottom left of the radiator, you will need to turn the wheels out of the way. You can use a 5 gallon bucket to catch your coolant.
Please don't make excuses, Check with your local deal, check e-bay, amazon, they're readily available. Yes they are specific, a thermostat from your old Chevy will not work.
Side note,
If you run without a thermostat you risk running your engine too cold causing extra wear and tear on the internal,components. You also, when running under heavy load for an extended period of time, run the risk of over heating the engine as the coolant doesn't spend enough time on the radiator before returning back to the engine.
