Some ECU's won't allow boost if they don't sense speed from the speedo. The battery should charge, but I'm not sure if any damage would occur if you drove the car with no clocks connected.

Historically on old cars in general that would be true as the alternator bulb provided the 12v supply to the alternator's regulator.
Can't say if that's the case for newer scoobs though.
