Sure he would, but in a rather longer time frame.
The brain needs both oxygen and sugars. Doesn't Breathe means his brain doesn't need oxygen anyway, and as I understand it oxygen (and getting rid of CO2) is more critical than sugar, so while you fall unconscious after about a minute of choking due to no oxygen, I'd assume you could last through several minutes of choking due to no sugars reaching your brain.
The blood also removes nasty stuff, such as CO2, but that's not very critical. And it moves heat around, acting as a cooling system. But I'd assume that that's less critical than sugars to the brain, even though the brain is a very energy-intensive organ that needs to be cooled off.
