If the PCM will run the engine properly without any distributor reference pulses, then I think it will work. If not, then you'll probably have to pull the pulses off the coil primary (I'd guess the same goes for the electronic tach, if you've got it). I'm not certain without checking into it more if there's danger of voltage spikes on the coil primary which could destroy the PCM/tach.
