Yep. The only reason the thermostat is there is to bring the engine to a given temperature faster. That's what the temperature rating is on thermostats. If you have a 180, the thermostat stays closed until the engine reaches 180 degrees, at which point it opens to allow the flow of coolant and keeps the engine at or around 180 degrees.
My car was overheating, so instead of spending money just to buy another thing that closed off my cooling system, i flushed the system and took it out. Now when it's 90+ outside and i'm driving around, it runs nice and cool, like it should.
