My first question is "WHY" would you want to.
If it's just a curiosity question, yes, you could run with out the bottle there. The original Gen II drives from 91 to 93 didn't have the reservoir. They did have a dipstick on the top cap of the drive so you could check the oil. Even if it was in the water (as long as the cap was above water) But in reality, you need to block off some things to prevent other problems.
