You probably can, and don't forget a cable guide under the bottom bracket too?
How old is this frame? The lack of a rear mech hanger suggests its quite an old frame, which means that the rear dropout spacing is likely to be 126 or even 120mm. Modern 8 speed and above are 130mm. Another thing to think about.
Maybe this frame is better suited to single speed or fixed. That may have been its original use.
