You'll just have to go old school to keep up with the air pressure in your tires and use a tire guage... it is a nice feature without a spare to be able to check your tire pressure frequently and know it's going to give you a heads up if one starts going down...
that being said... won't hurt a thing, we did it for several years without it.

No problems running the car without the TPMS but no visual warning of losing air pressure either.

No reduced power or limp mode.
The DIC will show an error message each time you start the car. You can clear it with the reset button.
I drove my '99's with different sets of wheels fairly often and some sets did not have TPMS. It doesn't hurt anything, it just makes you clear it once each trip.

I'm sure with a Tech II someone can eliminate that if you desire to do so...
My bad... this can NOT be done on 1997- 2000 models.
Thank you guys for being kind, and correcting me...
If you don't want to wear out your reset button or get tired of seeing the message it looks like you'll have to get some working TPMS....

However, IF,, you desire to have TPMS on a ZO6, you can also ADD it on by enabling the RPO in the BCM and adding the Pressure sensors. I have them on my 02 ZO6.
That being said, You can NOT remove that option from the 97-2000 BCM!
Hope that clears up the TPMS Info
YES,, You will need to clear the messages in the DIC each time you start the engine if you don't have the sensors installed.
Why not just install them???
