Looking for practical advice from those who have Not run a torque tube center bearing.

Question is - if I do not run a center bearing in my 41 Ford car torque tube - is there any practical negative issues to expect? I know earlier year Fords did not use the center bearing so I’m thinking of removing it entirely.

Reason is that I have had a Skip Haney bearing fail and cannot locate a good used or nos center bearing...
