The mirror rule in Kansas
Yes. Kansas (K.S.A. 8-1740) requires two mirrors. With the doors (and their mirrors) off you're down to the interior rearview, so add a driver-side (left) mirror, and ideally both sides, before you drive.
“every motor vehicle shall be equipped with a mirror mounted on the left side of the vehicle and so located as to reflect to the driver a view of the highway to the rear of the vehicle.”

Put your mirrors back
Your factory side mirrors ride on the doors. These mount to the hinges or the A-pillar so they stay when the doors don't. Every link goes to Amazon.

We didn't find any Kansas statute requiring fenders or mud flaps on passenger vehicles. Doors-off doesn't change your fenders anyway; it only matters if you've trimmed flares or run tires that stick out.
Do you need doors at all?
We didn't find any Kansas statute that requires doors on a passenger vehicle or makes removing them an offense. The rules that matter are the equipment rules: mirrors first, then fenders and lighting.
Kansas is one of the stricter states for doors-off driving because K.S.A. 8-1740(a) requires a left-side mirror on every motor vehicle regardless of interior view.
