Can you run with no torsion bar, and a coil-over shock suspension?

Ok, so heres the deal. I am putting in new brakes (911 turbo) and in doing so, I had to reaplace the stock control arm with a unit from a 944. Now i'm faced with a problem... THe shock mounting points aren't similar (duh) and so I have to have a shock that mounts as a 944 on the bottem, anda bug on the top. In doing so, someone has suggested to me that I can run with no torsion bar, and just run a coil over spring suspension, that will match up with the correct bolt holes respectively. DOes anyone here know if you can run such a suspension setup?

If it helps its a 1970 standard bug.

ps, thanx in advance
