I am assuming TPI?
It wont run without running with the MAF. You will have to remove the throttle body to clean it properly anyway. Get a new gasket.

Without the MAF the ECU doesn't see air coming into the engine so therefore it doesn't supply fuel.

Mine would just start and die with the MAF unplugged. My LT1 was the same way??
