While there might be no problem without the mechanical fan installed, I would install it since at some point you will do so anyway. No reason to take any risk. The electric fan is meant to be a backup for overheating and AC. Using as the primary fan will accelerate wear to some degree. Electric fan is fairly expensive to replace and since the clutch fan is in good order I wouldn't take any risk of electric fan failure or overheating.
