A subject omittable after and in this sentence?
I know his face, but I am not his friend and don't know his name and haven't talked with him.
Is that structure acceptable?
I omitted the subject 'I' after 'and' because I thought 'I' don't need to be repeated.
But, I'm uncomfortable with the structure because they(do not and have no) are not a regular pattern with 'am not'

No, it means that the first 'and' should be replaced by punctuation.
