The car will run, but the knock sensor retards timing when it hears "knocking" in the engine. Personally I wouldn't run with out it.
Since the harness is JDM it was ment to be routed on the opposite side of the engine bay.

You don't need the knock sensor, and the 20yo stock set-up is nowhere near advanced enough to provide full-load protection. Above ~4000rpm there's too much other noise for it to be able to detect knock. It's really just to detect knocking caused by low-rpm lugging (i.e. driving in a gear too high for the speed/load).
Using the right harness for your car will solve the problem of course...
