I've replaced PS fans with no problem... Most of the older PS I've worked on only had 2 pin connectors.. So I had to shave down part of the 3 pin tail off the fan if it didn't quite fit.
You shouldn't have any problem changeing them out... But I would keep a fan in there, and not just leave it naked....
