No, even in warm weather climates vehicles need the thermostat to get to the correct operating temperature. However, due to the age, have coolant replaced and keep a close eye on your temperature gauge, radiator could have a build up of rust and scale.  
You didn’t ask, but stay with the recommended viscosity of oil, do not be tempted to go to a heavier weight due to climate.
