I've driven mirrorless once or twice just becuase I forgot to install my doors-off mirrors and it was very unnerving. It seems really unsafe to purposely do that whether its the law or not.

Yes i believe two mirrors are required. Most people use the rearview and then one side view on the drivers side.

^^^ This. driver side is the most helpful with blind spot location. this is the set up i had on mine for about 6 months till i got a new mirror.

Not 2 side mirrors. California only requires a drivers side, side mirror.

well what i ment is 2 mirrors total. just pick your combo of which two you like. windshield and driver, driver and pass, pass and windshield. windshield and driver is prob the second safest one to having all 3

Yeah, I just wasn't sure if that is what you meant. California law does specify a left side mirror though. No right side mirror is required (assuming you have a standard center mirror). I personally never run a passenger side mirror when doors are off.
V C Section 26709 Mirrors
Every motor vehicle subject to registration in this state, except a motorcycle, shall be equipped with not less than two such mirrors, including one affixed to the left-hand side.

I'm pretty sure that is how AZ is as well. You only need the 2nd mirror I you can't see out the back using the rear view mirror.
