It will overheat. If you don't have the time or cash to replace it at least scab something together to seal it up. Make a cardboard template, transfer to some sheet metal and start cutting.

I agree that replacing it is still the best option though. You can get rear aprons pretty reasonably (well, somtimes anywho) and some aftermarket removable ones that are pretty spiffy for a bit more.
