It is very unlikely that the A2630 requires the FPU to work as its only purpose was to lighten the load on the CPU, in specific software demands.

Most A1200 accelerators offered the FPU as an option with a jumper setting allowing the user to select between FPU clock etc. Even your top end accelerators such as Phase 5 Blizzards were sold with omitted FPU's.
