I wouldn`t put in an LC060 in any Amiga accelerator.
Not only that the lack of FPU can make a huge difference in certain applications / games but you also could run into compatibility problems. When software detects an 060 or you install an 040 / 060 version of a programm it most certainly assumes the presence of an FPU, as there was only one 060 accelerator that used stripped down 060 and that was the Apollo 1260 75 MHz. Even striped down 040 cards were rare in the amiga sector.

The bottomline I wouldn`t use even if it got it for free.
Heck a full 68060 isn`t that expensive anymore. Here on Ebay germany once in a while they pop up for 40 EUR buy it now.
Not really interesting, but it`s there.
