I personally have, on two occasions flown large jet transport aircraft across the Atlantic without the autopilot(s) serviceable.
In each case, remained clear of MNPS airspace, and traveled the Blue Spruce route.
Not all that difficult, and the pax surely didn't complain....there weren't any.

Nowadays, with RVSM, not a good idea with revenue flights.
