No it will not be structurally sound. The number 2 is the foam piece, aka the 5 mph impact absorber. #3 is the piece that keeps it in place. With out them, should your friend get rear ended there will be nothing to absorb the impact. Not sure what the bumper will do with out that support, either. Just call the dealer. As I recall those pieces are not that expensive.

Next time use a MINIFini hitch, no left over parts after the install.
