You can run it for as long as you would like without the MIL's it wont mess anything up. Like you said you will just have the check engine light on but it wont mess anything up.

I ran my O/R X-pipe without MIL Eliminators for 2 months until I get the rear o2's turned off. You'll be fine

If you have a programmer, like a Diablo Predator, you can disable the O2 sensors with that. No need for MIL's.

There is also a way to make your own MIL's. I don't know how to do it but I heard that it can be done.
