Fuel Pump Workaround

My 89 turbo broke down the other day. My mech. says the control unit for the fuel pump went out, and it would be $1000 to replace and he can't find a used one. I don't want to spend that much on the car since I only use it when another car is in the shop. He says he can bypass the control unit and get it working for around $150, which obviously is much better. The drawback, he says, is that I loose safety functions like fuel cutoff in an accident, etc.
So, considering I never take that car on the hwy and drive it only about once a month anyway, am I still stupid to consider this???
