Zac,
It can do but there is no hard and fast rule that says it will run hot. It
much depends on the condition of the water pump and radiator and it is more
likely to run hot with the thermostat out when all of the components are in
top condition - I think you can take a punt on that it's not the case when
the thermostat hasn't been changed in 20 years. The thermostat is probably
jammed but in what position? Better off out me thinks, but preferably
renewed.

It will get even hotter and overheat if you take out the thermostat won't
it?
