In a word.... No.

The fuel distributor for the '80 and on was intended to utilize the frequency valve to make the mixture adjustments for warmup, closed loop with the O2 sensor, and enrichment for acceleration and Wide Open Throttle (WOT). You can disconnect the O2 sensor and still have an operable system. If you remove and plug off the FV, you also lose the warmup enrichment, and acceleration and WOT enrichment.

The Warmup Regulator that came as stock with the '80 does not provide the enrichment functions associated with the manifold pressure changes of earlier systems. So you will now be faced with at least swapping out the WUR for one that provides mixture adjustment. I am sure others have actually tried this, but I don't have personal knowledge of the results. Maybe someone who has actually done it rather than guess at it will post their results.
