Hi G,
Technically you could, it just sounds a bit more abrupt -
so I will need to leave rather than I would need to leave
but not wrong in my opinion.
Bonne Continuation !
It might sound more abrupt (as Cécile says), but unfortunately I have never been able to hear the difference between the spoken "j'aurai" and "j'aurais". Someone once told me lots of French people pronounce both the same way, but I am not sure if that is correct.
