What if Alt-Lois died in the Congo in 1993?

Would Alt-Clark or HG Wells save Lois in 1993, so that she returns to Metropolis (instead of disappearing), even if that future would mean that Tempus would have no reason to bring canon-Lois there? If Alt-Clark and Canon-Lois don't meet, then he would not be available to sub in for canon-Clark while canon-Superman is lost in time, thereby allowing Tempus to destroy canon-dimension.
