Dont think so cause the axle bearings are on it. Your axles would flop around.

No, and possibly.
If you remove the carrier, you also need to remove the inner axle shafts. The stub shafts (outer part past the u-joint) must remain in the hubs for this to work. You should also probably remove your front driveshaft so that in no way at all will your front pinion rotate.
*If you don't leave the stub shafts in the hubs, the hubs will separate somewhere inconvenient, like the highway doing 65.*
If you are simply driving down the block at some slow speed and don't much care for your inner seals, then, yes, you can drive your Jeep a short ways with the carrier removed.
