No accumalator spring.. do or dont

Ok, i finally got around to pulling out the Cheetah valvebody out of my 727, to no surprise the accumalator spring was not in the transmision, it was left to float in the bore. I just got my TF2 transgo kit and before i install it i am windering if i should install the blocker rod 2.85" 1/2" diameter in the bore first, let it float again or find a spring... i do want firm snappy shifts ( its a hotrod after all), any thoughts and comments are welcome.
Thanks in-advance. Terry20220404_185643.jpg
