You'd have a vacuum leak. The system affected would depend on which one you broke. Welcome to the Valve Busters club. I broke two.

The easiest thing would be just to replace the valve and not worry about taking chances with what it can do to your car. At a minimum, you should plug all the lines because dust from the air into any vacuum line will eventually end up in your combustion chamber, shortening the life of the engine.
I have some spares, but they are for the CRX.

Oh yeah I meant bleed valve not check valve. I'd say yeah. It would lead to problems eventually.

I would just replace the broken valve. What is the big deal about that?

Oh, if you're talking about just starting the car and driving around a while, no problem. I just wouldn't let it go for months without fixing it. That's all.
