you will probably be fine for a little while as long as the cop is on it. I wouldnt drive very much with it not screwed down though. just buy a screw how much can it be.

or go to the dealership, and ask their parts guy if he would see if there is a chance one of their techs have one in their tool box they would sell/give you.
Even new COP's dont come with new screws. But alot of times they will have them from doing an engine swap or and intake swap. I am sure I have some laying around but by time I find it and ship it you will be in need of it sooner.
