If your HEI was installed correctly then there is no reason to have an old style coil in the car. Disconnect the coil and make sure the car runs. If it does, then just take the coil out and cut the wires back at the wire loom. Or you can remove the whole wire all the way back to 12V ignition. Whoever installed your HEI did it the wrong way if they left the points coil there.
